About
Brandon G. Rasman is a leading researcher in human sensorimotor control, with a primary focus on the neural mechanisms underlying standing balance. His work uniquely combines robotics and computational modeling to probe how the brain overcomes inherent sensory and motor delays to maintain upright posture. Rasman’s major contributions include developing novel sensorimotor manipulations—such as unexpected delays—to reveal how the nervous system learns and adapts its control policies. His highly cited 2018 paper (90 citations) advanced the field by moving beyond traditional perturbation paradigms to explore the closed-loop nature of balance control. His subsequent work (29 and 10 citations) demonstrated that learning to stand with sensorimotor delays generalizes across both direction and effectors (from hand to leg), a key insight for rehabilitation. Rasman has also investigated age-related impairments in this learning process (8 citations), highlighting the impact of aging on sensory acuity and cognitive function. His recent 2024 paper (4 citations) explores how contextual inference governs postural responses, bridging associative learning and sensory-evoked control. Through these innovative studies, Rasman has significantly advanced our understanding of balance, with direct implications for fall prevention and neurorehabilitation.
