Virginia Tech’s Dr. Julia C. Basso joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss her work studying the body-brain connection through dance, yoga, and meditation. As an assistant professor in the Department of human nutrition, foods, and exercise at Virginia Tech, Basso’s research is focused on the body-brain connection and utilizing the body to boost brain function and physiology. With a background in dance and as a certified yoga instructor, she tells us more about her work as director of the Embodied Brain Laboratory and about the bidirectional relationship between physical movement — like dance and yoga — and the brain.
