| Description | Ashleigh Johnstone is a PhD researcher in cognitive neuroscience at Bangor University. Her PhD is specifically focused on assessing cognitive changes related to martial arts practice and last year, she published a paper showing that martial arts training can lead to increases in alertness and vigilance. And she says that much of the research that has been undertaken to date looking at the beneficial effects of martial arts training has actually been done with children. |
