About
Liam H. Foulger investigates the neural and biomechanical foundations of human balance, with a particular focus on how sensorimotor delays—caused by neural conduction times and electromechanical lags—shape our ability to stand and move. His work reveals that the central nervous system adapts its control strategies to compensate for these delays, and that learning to stand with artificially induced delays alters sensorimotor control without leading to instability when returning to natural conditions. This finding has important implications for understanding balance deficits in ageing populations and individuals with neurological disorders, where delays are often increased. Foulger’s research bridges experimental motor control and computational modeling, offering insights into how the brain predicts and reacts to uncertainty. With his most-cited paper already garnering attention in the field, his contributions are helping to redefine how we think about the robustness of human postural control. His work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in motor neuroscience, rehabilitation engineering, and the physics of bipedal stability.
