070- Dr. Alice Cade – Chiropractic, Eye Tracking and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

In this interview, Dr Alice Cade discusses her interests of eye function and chiropractic amongst other topics. Dr. Cade is a clinician-scientist and senior lecturer at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, with adjunct appointments in neuroscience research and teaching at the University of Auckland and the Scotland College of Chiropractic. Her research centers on how spinal function and dysfunction influence oculomotor control, multisensory integration, and neuroplasticity, particularly in the context of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Alice’s doctoral work used computerized eye tracking to examine visual markers of concussion, and her ongoing studies explore how spinal care may alter visual attention, eye tracking, and sensorimotor performance in both clinical and subclinical populations.

With a strong interest in translational science, Alice integrates VR-based behavioural testing, eye tracking, and chiropractic care to better understand brain-body interactions and to develop accessible, non-invasive tools for identifying and monitoring neurological dysfunction. She has presented this work to chiropractic, neuroscience, and vision science communities internationally and remains committed to advancing interdisciplinary, clinically meaningful research that strengthens both patient care and the profession’s scientific foundation.
