You must have had a moment where you're walking and accidentally stumbling stone foot and then fell. What exactly happens in the brain at the time until it can happen? Researchers from the University of Michigan has revealed what exactly is causing 'unintentional' and loss of balance can occur in humans.

The findings of the research show that there is a lag between the brain and muscles when we will fall. They are able to express this through the analysis of the electrical response in the brain using a tool called electroencephalogram (EEG).
"We use EEG to see what happens in the brain. With this tool, we can determine which parts of the brain that first identifies that you lose balance when walking," said Daniel Ferris, a University of Michigan professor of kinesiology.
Published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, researchers used electrodes on 26 respondents. They were asked to walk on a balance beam sebuahb connected on a treadmill. So that when the respondent lost his balance while walking on beams, they will 'fall' to the treadmill and start running on the device without hurting themselves. Then the researchers examined the electrical response in the brain respondents and found that the brain is aware of the loss of balance before the respondent actually fell. That way, the fact if the person can respond more quickly, then falls due to tripping can be prevented and treated.
