Description
Hao Yue and co-authors published a 2024 study introducing a system that characterizes the effects of aging on the brain's control of walking, inside a brain scanner. The soles of the feet sense the ground reaction forces of each step, and the information travels to the spinal cord and up to the brain. Yet scanners require a participant to lie still, so walking cannot occur inside.
The team built a foot-sole stimulation system compatible with the scanner. It replays recorded sole pressure patterns, captured while ten younger and ten older adults walked ten meters, to the feet of participants lying still. The playback reproduced the forces of walking. Scanner noise with the system switched on matched noise with it off. Recordings showed activation in brain regions associated with sensation and spatial orientation under replayed steps. The system should enable walking studies to be performed inside the scanner.
