Mobile Brain Imaging (MoBI)

Mobile Brain Imaging (MoBI)

Neural Correlates of Self-Motion

I have extended my work on self-motion perception to include Electroencephalography(EEG) to investigate the neural process involved in dual-tasking such as walking and performing a task and cortical processing of vestibular signals. This new research area is known as mobile brain imaging (MoBI).
