DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year's first J1 Scholar B2B Mini-Lecture Serie
 s! Each event showcases the work of two amazing international faculty or r
 esearcher currently hosted by the University of Oregon. Today's event\, "T
 he Anatomy of Success: From Classroom Lessons to Neural Signals"\, will fe
 ature:\n\nMarie-Hélène Véronneau\, PhD\, professor of Psychology at the
  University of Quebec at Montreal\, who will talk about "Rethinking What I
 t Means to Succeed in School: An Educational Psychologist's Reflections fr
 om Research\, Life\, and Learning in Canada and the United States". More d
 etails below.Corey Wadsley\, PhD\, postdoctoral scholar of Human Physiolog
 y at the University of Oregon's Institute of Neuroscience\, whose talk wil
 l be "To move or not to move: Insights into the neurophysiology of human m
 ovement preparation and cancellation". More details belowThis event will t
 ake place at the Mills International Center (EMU Mezzanine Level) from 12:
 00 PM to 1:30 PM on Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025. Snacks will be served.\n\nD
 r. Véronneau received her PhD in psychology from the University of Montre
 al and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in prevention science at the Un
 iversity of Oregon from 2007 to 2011. She is back in Eugene this year for 
 an academic sabbatical. She is currently affiliated to the College of Educ
 ation and the Prevention Science Institute. She is also a full professor i
 n the Department of Psychology at the Université du Québec at Montreal\,
  in the Educational Psychology section. She is the Past President of the Q
 uébec Society for Research in Psychology and an Associate Editor for the 
 Canadian Journal of Behavioural Science. She now holds a strategic chair a
 t her university on the promotion of well-being during academic and post-a
 cademic transitions. Her current studies focus on educational success and 
 mental health from a longitudinal perspective among students of all ages\,
  with a particular focus on students in vocational training. Her experienc
 e as a student\, a researcher\, and parent in different educational instit
 utions in Canada and the U.S. has nourished her reflections on what educat
 ional success truly means. While recognizing the fundamental value of form
 al education for individuals and society\, Dr. Véronneau’s research als
 o addresses the needs of non-college-bound youth who may find a path towar
 d secure employment and wellbeing in their adult life by pursuing other pl
 ans\, such as vocational training. Her recent work has also aimed at devel
 oping a valid measurement of individual satisfaction with education\, rega
 rdless of the level of education one has achieved.\n\nDr. Wadsley complete
 d his PhD training at The University of Auckland before moving to the Univ
 ersity of Oregon's Action Control Lab where he is a postdoctoral scholar i
 nterested in the neural bases of motor control in humans when preparing\, 
 executing\, and cancelling actions. He uses a multimodal research approach
  by combining behavioral testing with various electrophysiology\, non-inva
 sive brain stimulation\, and neuroimaging techniques. Through his research
 \, he aspires to identify robust measures that predict movement execution 
 and cancellation in real-world contexts. His talk will focus on the abilit
 y of humans to transition from thinking about movement to initiating it\, 
 which seems effortless. His lab investigates the neural basis of this proc
 ess using noninvasive brain stimulation during various behavioral tasks. I
 n this talk\, he will share research showing that the motor system prepare
 s for action by amplifying signals to relevant muscles while suppressing a
 ctivity in others\, helping the brain focus on the right movement at the r
 ight time.
