Postural Control During Concurrent Cognitive Tasks During Optic Flow Stimulation
Sponsor: Chia-Cheng Lin, PhD, PT, MSPT
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain activity during current visual and auditory tasks for balance control. The participants will perform cognitive, gait, and balance measures before the data collection to exclude people with neurological disorders. The participants will wear VR headset which provides visual tasks. The participants will need to maintain balance while performing concurrent visual and auditory tasks. The brain activities, reaction time, and eye-tracking data will be collected during doing our experimental tasks.

Optic Flow Stimulation
The optic flow will be displayed at different speeds. The subject will need to look at the center of the optic flow.
Auditory Reaction Time
Two different pitches of tones will be played. The participants will need to press a button on the right or left hand based on the pitch of the tone.
