This translational research division contains three research units:
Mental Health Literacy Unit
Sport and Exercise Performance and Rehabilitation Unit
Wellbeing Fostering Performance Unit
Clinical Neuroscience
Explore the new generation technology to conduct translational research to establish efficacy of treatments for clinical neuroscience. This includes research in developing technologies applied to the the development of advanced therapeutics relevant to clinical neuroscience.
This translational research division contains three research units:
Neurobionics and Engineering Psychology Unit
Predictive and Assistive Therapeutics Unit
Neuro aesthetics and User Experience Unit
Research Funding
As ISN invests into research, Honours and Master Level students have access to well-funded research placements.
We have a range of projects run by ISN academics and we also collaborate with other researchers in the industry.
Postgraduate Research
Our students are able to engage in research with world-leading professionals. Funding may be provided for research that is consistent with ISN’s vision.
We are growing the research program to include joint work with a broad range of medical facilities, hospitals and other education providers.
These partnerships provide opportunities to collaborate on research projects in a student’s fields of interest, or to undertake clinical placement positions in hospitals and other agencies.
