The contribution of visual and vestibular information to spatial orientation by 6- to 14-month-old infants and adults [PDF]
Although there is much research on infants' ability to orient in space, little is known regarding the information they use to do so. This research uses a rotating room to evaluate the relative contribution of visual and vestibular information to location

Impact of Vestibular Stimulation at Powerline Frequency on Human Pointing Accuracy
Background: Electric vestibular stimulations (EVS) up to 300 Hz trigger vestibular myogenic responses. Interestingly, 300 Hz is the upper limit of the so called extremely low-frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MF) range found within the 2010 guidelines ...

Our sense of balance is among the most central of our sensory systems, particularly in the evolution of human positional behavior. The peripheral vestibular system (PVS) comprises the organs responsible for this sense; the semicircular canals (detecting ...

Design and kinematic analysis of a two-DOF moving platform as a base for a car simulator
The study starts by modeling a simple 2-DOF (degrees of freedom) moving platform that employs two actuators to provide two kinds of rotational motion on the moving platform and each motion is driven by an electrical motor.

Visual gravitational motion and the vestibular system in humans [PDF]
The visual system is poorly sensitive to arbitrary accelerations, but accurately detects the effects of gravity on a target motion. Here we review behavioral and neuroimaging data about the neural mechanisms for dealing with object motion and egomotion under gravity. The results from several experiments show that the visual estimates of a target motion

Human vestibular perceptual thresholds - A systematic review of passive motion perception.
BACKGROUND The vestibular system detects head accelerations within 6 degrees of freedom. How well this is accomplished is described by vestibular perceptual thresholds.

HSV-1 not only in human vestibular ganglia but also in the vestibular labyrinth [PDF]
Reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) in the vestibular ganglion (VG) is the suspected cause of vestibular neuritis (VN). Recent studies reported the presence of HSV-1 DNA not only in human VGs but also in vestibular nuclei, a finding that ...

Vestibular Perception following Acute Unilateral Vestibular Lesions. [PDF]
Little is known about the vestibulo-perceptual (VP) system, particularly after a unilateral vestibular lesion. We investigated vestibulo-ocular (VO) and VP function in 25 patients with vestibular neuritis (VN) acutely (2 days after onset) and after ...

Vestibular Rehabilitation after Vestibulopathy Focusing on the Application of Virtual Reality
Human postural control is regulated by the vestibular, somatosensory, and visual systems. These types of sensory information are integrated in the central nervous system to ascertain the body’s position in space.
