Daniel M. Merfeld

Daniel M. Merfeld studies how the human balance (vestibular) system senses motion and gravity, including how precisely people can detect tilt, translation, and rotation, and how this perception changes with aging, disease, or reduced oxygen levels. His work combines behavioral perceptual testing with engineering approaches, such as developing MRI methods that can image the body while it moves, to better understand the neural basis of self-motion perception and balance.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the past decade with year-to-year variation, showing a notable spike in 2024 followed by a return to typical levels.
