Professor (Emerita) Henrietta ‘Mimi’ Galiana — Visionary in Vestibular-Ocular Reflex Modelling
Henrietta L. Galiana is a Professor Emerita in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at McGill University, with affiliate roles in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Otolaryngology – Head & Neck Surgery. Her research career spans over 35 years, dedicated to understanding and modeling the neural control of eye-head coordination, particularly the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and related ocular reflexes — foundational science that underpins NeuroFlex’s analytic approach to eye-head reflex assessment.

Her interdisciplinary work combines biosignal processing, computational modeling, and system identification to develop robust methods for classifying and quantifying reflex dynamics, including novel algorithms for automated analysis of nystagmus and nonlinear reflex behavior.

Earlier in her career, Galiana’s work intersected with spaceflight and vestibular research contexts — contributing to the understanding of reflex adaptation and sensory coordination relevant to environments such as those studied by NASA during human spaceflight research.
