Dr Doumas’ research team at the Balance Neuroscience Lab is dedicated to understanding how the neuromuscular system achieves upright standing. Our aim is to reduce fall incidents over the lifespan and to improve quality of life in

1. Healthy (children, young and older adults)
2. Clinical (Parkinson’s, Depression) and
3. Atypical (Autism) populations

In our lab we use behavioural and neurophysiological techniques, including motion capture, posturography, EMG, TMS, tDCS and fNIRS to study behavioural and neural mechanisms of balance control.
