ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics
Precision Performance Technologies: Measurement and prediction of cognitive and physical performance
Thursday 26th November 4 – 5pm AEDT
The convergent science team of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics, University of Adelaide Psychology together with the Defence Science Technology Group (DSTG), and the Port Adelaide Football Club were supported by the Next Generation Technology Fund to undertake a study to identify biomarkers of cognitive and physical performance in elite male athletes.
The team draws upon the domain knowledge and skills of the DSTG together with the innovative new biological understanding of the connected mind and body, integrated with world class psychological assessment and molecular quantification skills.
This collaborative team formed following the CNBP academic leadership of the 2018 DSTG Emerging and Disruptive Technology Assessment Symposium (EDTAS) on Human Biotechnologies. The team’s goal is to create measurement technologies that provide actionable information on present threats or future challenges, allowing the precision management of human performance.
