Overview

J. Timothy Inglis is a researcher affiliated with the University of British Columbia in Canada, with a focus on neuroscience, health professions, and medicine. Their research prominently investigates areas such as motor control and adaptation, balance, gait and falls prevention, and muscle activation through electromyography studies.

Their recent publications reflect a concentration on the neural and physiological mechanisms underlying standing balance and postural control, often in the context of sensorimotor challenges. Notable papers include:

  • "Learning to stand with unexpected sensorimotor delays" (2021, eLife)
  • "Cortical potentials time-locked to discrete postural events during quiet standing are facilitated during postural threat exposure" (2023, The Journal of Physiology)
  • "Influence of age on the frequency characteristics of the soleus muscle response to Achilles tendon vibration during standing" (2020, The Journal of Physiology)
  • "Facilitation and Habituation of Cortical and Subcortical Control of Standing Balance Following Repeated Exposure to a Height-related Postural Threat" (2022, Neuroscience)
  • "Brain connectivity during simulated balance in older adults with and without Parkinson's disease" (2021, NeuroImage Clinical)

Key research topics explored by Inglis include:

  • Motor Control and Adaptation
  • Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention
  • Muscle activation and electromyography studies
  • Effects of Vibration on Health
  • Vestibular and auditory disorders
  • Tactile and Sensory Interactions
  • Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications

Inglis's work has been published frequently in several scientific venues, with notable appearances in:

  • The Journal of Physiology
  • Experimental Brain Research
  • Neuroscience Letters
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • eLife

The scientist collaborates regularly with other researchers in related fields. Frequent coauthors include Mark G. Carpenter, Romeo Chua, Gregg Eschelmuller, Ryan M. Peters, and Jean-Sébastien Blouin, reflecting interdisciplinary work in neuroscience and rehabilitation sciences.

Inglis's subfields of study emphasize cognitive neuroscience, physical therapy, sports therapy and rehabilitation, biomedical engineering, orthopedics and sports medicine, and neurology. This interdisciplinary approach supports comprehensive investigations into the neural control of posture and mechanisms that contribute to disturbances in balance.
