The work in the Human Neurophysiology laboratory focuses on how we use sensory information from our inner ear balance system (the vestibular system), as well as how we use the abundance of sensory information from our skin, joints and muscles. A novel technique used in Dr. Inglis’ laboratory involves the recording of single nerve cells in wide awake human subjects. The technique, termed Microneurography, allows us to monitor, in real time, sensory information in the human.
