Emma Nielsen’s MSc Thesis Proposal

Title:“A methodological comparison of real and virtual visual perturbations on postural stability and the role of aging” Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Mark G. Carpenter Committee Members: Dr. Romeo Chua, Dr. J. Timothy Inglis Abstract: Balance control requires the continuous integration of sensory information to maintain postural stability. Widely accessible virtual reality (VR) technology can be used […]

Emma Reiter’s MSc Thesis Proposal

Title: “Global and time-dependent postural responses to saccadic eye movements” Supervisor: Dr. Mark G. Carpenter Committee members: Dr. Romeo Chua, Dr. J. Timothy Inglis Abstract: Vision is a sensation that allows for interaction with the visual environment and supplies important information to the central nervous system to facilitate postural control. In addition to retinal information […]

Emma Reiter’s MSc Thesis Defence

Title: Characterizing interactions between oculomotor and postural control systems with saccadic eye movements Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Mark Carpenter Committee members: Dr. Romeo Chua, Dr. J Timothy Inglis Defence Chair: Dr. Kayla Fewster Abstract: Oculomotor control is an important component of visual interaction with the external environment; it determines where gaze is directed and what visual information […]

Jeff Kelly’s MSc Thesis Proposal

Title: Investigating the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation on dynamic balance control in Parkinson’s disease Supervisor: Dr. Mark Carpenter Committee members: Dr. Tim Inglis, Dr. Romeo Chua Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. As postural instability worsens with disease progression, this can result in falls, […]

Title: Scaling and adaptation of dynamic balance responses in Parkinson’s disease Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Mark Carpenter Committee members: Dr. Tim Inglis, Dr. Romeo Chua Defence Chair: Dr. Hyosub Kim Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. As postural instability worsens with disease progression, this can result […]
