This project investigates the neural mechanisms underlying postural control and multisensory integration, focusing on how the
brain integrates visual, proprioceptive and vestibular data to maintain balance. It aims to identify cortical markers of postural
control, link variability in sensory weighting to patterns of brain activity, and characterize altered sensory reweighting in children
with developmental coordination disorder, in the elderly, and in individuals with vestibular disorders. Using EEG, force
platforms and novel methodologies, the project will explore how brain activity is coupled to postural and muscular control, and how this
coupling varies as a function of environmental constraints.
The project aims to deepen our understanding of the etiology of different conditions that can affect postural control, and to
contribute to the development of potential diagnostic and therapeutic tools.
