I am interested in how humans interact with their environment and have been studying how visual perception and postural control for balance and mobility are linked. In my previous work I examined the effects of differential sensory reweighting and visual sampling on locomotion and spatial cognition across the adult lifespan.
My work at Smith-Kettlewell focuses on how central visual field loss due to Age-related Macular Degeneration affects older adults’ spatial orientation perception and postural control. More specifically, I examine visual-vestibular interactions for perception and locomotor tasks under the mentorship of Dr. Natela Shanidze, with an outlook to fall risk prevention and management.
