Science Day: Walking and the waves that come with it

What does your brain do while you walk? Discover how tiny electrical signals, measured with EEG, help us understand how the brain coordinates our walking and why walking in Parkinson's disease worsens.

Walking feels automatic, but your brain is working behind the scenes with every step. In this talk, we'll explore how EEG offers a window into the brain during walking and what a type of brain signal called the beta wave can tell us. You'll see how these signals differ between healthy people and people with Parkinson's disease, and why understanding them could lead to better ways to target walking problems.
