Talk Title: Online and App-Based Assessment: Psychometrics and Application.

Talk Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of the freely available online and app-based tools currently employed in the Cognitive Neuroimaging Lab. We will outline psychometric work conducted to evaluate the validity and reliability of these tools, highlight key findings from recent studies in which they have been used, and discuss future directions for their development and application, including ways in which other researchers can incorporate these tools into their own work.

Dr Antoinette Poulton's Bio: Dr Antoinette Poulton currently holds a Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences Momentum Fellowship (University of Melbourne) and a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) Early to Mid-Career Researcher Fellowship. Her research focuses on executive function and the transition from at-risk alcohol/drug use to diagnosable use disorders. She also investigates how digital technologies can capture real-time data on substance use, self-control, and reward sensitivity, and how this information can be translated into personalised feedback to support harm reduction.

Dr Gezelle Dali's Bio: Dr Gezelle Dali completed her PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2023, followed by a Postdoctoral position at the University of Sydney. She is currently an Academic Fellow within the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Dr Dali’s research examines the cognitive and neural mechanisms that drive impulse control and performance monitoring, particularly in the context of substance use. As part of her research, Dr Dali has co-developed smartphone applications used to track cognition and alcohol use in daily life.
