Human standing is almost effortless. In some ways, our balance system is like our respiratory system: both happen involuntarily, yet we are aware of their actions and can control them if needed. The proposed research program will explore how the brain regulates the automatic control of standing balance, leaving us with the remarkable sensation that standing is easy. Three specific research objectives will be addressed: 1) determine how foot loading forces contribute to the modulation of balance activity, 2) establish what sensorimotor information engages the balance system and 3) understand how sensorimotor information is transformed in the balance system.

人类站立几乎毫不费力。在某些方面，我们的平衡系统就像我们的呼吸系统：两者都是不自觉地发生的，但我们知道它们的动作，并在需要时控制它们。拟议中的研究计划将探索大脑如何调节站立平衡的自动控制，让我们感到站立很容易。三个具体的研究目标将被解决：1）确定脚负载力如何有助于平衡活动的调制，2）建立什么感觉运动信息参与平衡系统和3）了解感觉运动信息是如何在平衡系统中转换。
