About
David Kaulmann’s research lies at the intersection of human sensorimotor control and cognitive neuroscience, with a particular focus on how the brain stabilizes balance. His most cited work, “Stabilization of body balance with Light Touch following a mechanical perturbation,” explores the remarkable ability of light fingertip contact with a fixed reference to reduce postural sway after unexpected disturbances. In this study, Kaulmann demonstrated that disrupting the right posterior parietal cortex using continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) impairs this dynamic stabilization, revealing a critical neural substrate for integrating tactile cues into balance control. Though his citation count is still growing—with this key paper reaching 10 citations—his contributions are foundational for understanding sensory-motor integration and rehabilitation strategies for fall prevention. By combining non-invasive brain stimulation with precise biomechanical measures, Kaulmann’s work offers novel insights into how the brain adapts to perturbations, making his research highly relevant for students and clinicians interested in motor control, neurorehabilitation, and the neural basis of human balance.
