ECR Spotlight interviews Yiyuan Li about trunk stabilization in human walking, emphasizing multisensory integration.
ECR Spotlight is a series of interviews with early-career authors from a selection of papers published in Journal of Experimental Biology and aims to promote not only the diversity of early-career researchers (ECRs) working in experimental biology but also the huge variety of animals and physiological systems that are essential for the ‘comparative’ approach. Yiyuan Li is an author on ‘ Vestibular and proprioceptive contributions to trunk stabilization differ across postural tasks and walking speeds’, published in JEB. Yiyuan is a PhD student in the lab of Jaap van Dieen at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands, KU Leuven, Belgium, investigating how multisensory signals are integrated to control balance and trunk stabilization during human walking.
