In order to analyze different human brain states related to perception and maintaining of body posture, we implemented an experiment with a balance platform. It is known the cerebral cortex regulates subcortical postural centers to maintain upright balance and posture and balance demands. However, the cortical mechanisms that support standing balance remain elusive. In this work, we present an EEG-based analysis during execution of balance responses with distinct postural demands. The results suggest the existence of common features in the EEG structure associated with distinct activity during balance maintaining. This may give new directions for future research in the field of brain activity, and for the development of brain-computer interfaces.
