Don’t Panic! The Neuroscience behind falling into Balance w/ Vivek Pandey Vimal - a podcast by Missing Link Studios
from 2016-11-23T18:23:14
Are balance and movement something that can be culturally shaped? Why aren’t female rats being used in drug studies? In this episode of This Anthropological Life we team up with Vivekanand Pandey Vimal to talk about his research that explores how people learn to balance when their sensory systems are taken away. We then relate studies on balance and movement to anthropology and discuss the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration. Show notes by Nina Oria-Loureiro.
