The effect of voluntary head movements on postural kinetics in the standing cat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Background Although the postural instability accompanying bilateral vestibular loss in human and quadrupeds during lateral head movements are well-known, it is still unclear whether or not lateral head turns would indeed activate the postural control ...

Cerebellum-mediated trainability of eye and head movements for dynamic gazing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether gaze stabilization exercises (GSEs) improve eye and head movements and whether low-frequency cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) inhibits GSE trainability.

Head movements evoked in alert rhesus monkey by vestibular prosthesis stimulation: implications for postural and gaze stabilization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The vestibular system detects motion of the head in space and in turn generates reflexes that are vital for our daily activities. The eye movements produced by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) play an essential role in stabilizing the visual axis (gaze),

Active head rolls enhance sonar-based auditory localization performance.
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 Animals utilize a variety of active sensing mechanisms to perceive the world around them. Echolocating bats are an excellent model for the study of active auditory localization. The big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), for instance, employs active head roll

The Interaction of Pre-programmed Eye Movements With the Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2018 The Vestibulo-Ocular Reflex (VOR) works to stabilize gaze during unexpected head movements. However, even subjects who lack a VOR (e.g., vestibulopathic patients) can achieve gaze stability during planned head movements by using pre-programmed eye ...

Paroxysmal eye–head movements in Glut1 deficiency syndrome [PDF]
, 2017 Objective:To describe a characteristic paroxysmal eye–head movement disorder that occurs in infants with Glut1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1 DS).Methods:We retrospectively reviewed the medical charts of 101 patients with Glut1 DS to obtain clinical data ...

Birds, 2021 Animals invest in costly vigilance to detect threats. Joining groups reduces these costs, which can be further reduced in mixed-species assemblages. In colour-polymorphic species, morphs often experience different predation pressure and vary in a variety

Development of a Sensing Platform Based on Hands-Free Interfaces for Controlling Electronic Devices
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 Hands-free interfaces are essential to people with limited mobility for interacting with biomedical or electronic devices. However, there are not enough sensing platforms that quickly tailor the interface to these users with disabilities.

A method to compensate head movements for mobile eye tracker using invisible markers
Journal of Eye Movement Research, 2018 Although mobile eye-trackers have wide measurement range of gaze, and high flexibility, it is difficult to judge what a subject is actually looking at based only on obtained coordinates, due to the influence of head movement.
