As an assistant professor in the department of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech, Basso’s research is focused on 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’ll join Being Patient to tell 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.
