| Abstract | Daily movements – from catching a ball to staying balanced while opening a heavy door – showcase the brain's remarkable ability to control movement and at the same time maintain stability. While these actions appear simple, they involve sophisticated interactions among different sensory systems, including vision, proprioception (muscle sense), and balance. This research project aims to understand how the brain coordinates these sensory systems to enable goal-oriented movement and stability. Usin |
