Research in Imagery and Observation Group - Group Organiser - Since November 2015 he has fulfilled the role of organiser for the Research in Imagery and Observation (RIO) group as part of a 4-person orgainising committee. The RIO group was formed in 2006 and aims to provide a forum to meet and discuss 'Research in Imagery and Observation'. The research carried out by the members of the group varies from applied sport science to cognitive neuroscience, and as such, the range of expertise is very useful for learning new skills or methods for research. The group is designed to; facilitate like-minded discussion about imagery and observation, provide a supportive environment for research students to disseminate/discuss their work as early career researchers, give access to a collaborative network in order to bridge gaps in the research on imagery and observation. Membership to the group is free; there is an annual meeting that takes place at different locations across Europe which provide an opportunity for members to give presentations about their recent research findings and ideas, followed by group discussion.
