Abstract

Our everyday behaviours, such as physical activity, sleep, diet, meditation, and social connections, have a potent impact on our mental health and the health of our brain. BrainPark is working to harness this power by developing lifestyle-based interventions for mental health and investigating how they do and don’t change the brain, and for whom they are most effective. In this webinar, Dr Rebecca Segrave and Dr Chao Suo will discuss BrainPark’s approach to developing lifestyle-based interventions to help people get better control of compulsive behaviours, and the multi-modality neuroimaging approaches they take to investigating outcomes. The webinar will explore two current BrainPark trials: 1. Conquering Compulsions - investigating the capacity of physical exercise and meditation to alter reward processing and help people get better control of a wide range of unhelpful habits, from drinking to eating to cleaning. 2. The Brain Exercise Addiction Trial (BEAT) - an NHMRC funded investigation into the capacity of physical exercise to reverse the brain harms caused by long-term heavy cannabis use. Dr Rebecca Segrave is Deputy Director and Head of Interventions Research at BrainPark, the David Winston Turner Senior Research Fellow within the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health, and an AHRPA registered Clinical Neuropsychologist. Dr Chao Suo is Head of Technology and Neuroimaging at BrainPark and a Research Fellow within the Turner Institute for Brain and Mental Health.
