Perception of Egocentric Distance during Gravitational Changes in Parabolic Flight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We explored the effect of gravity on the perceived representation of the absolute distance of objects to the observers within the range from 1.5-6 m. Experiments were performed on board the CNES Airbus Zero-G during parabolic flights eliciting repeated ...

Human limb position sense measured by repositioning during changes of gravity in parabolic flight [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOur sense of limb position is believed to be signalled by muscle spindles. To confirm this, we previously sought evidence for spindles contributing to each of three different methods of measuring position sense.

Perception of Affordance during Short-Term Exposure to Weightlessness in Parabolic Flight. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We investigated the role of the visual eye-height (VEH) in the perception of affordance during short-term exposure to weightlessness. Sixteen participants were tested during parabolic flight (0g) and on the ground (1g).
