Influence of sensory modality and control dynamics on human path integration [PDF]
eLife, 2022 Path integration is a sensorimotor computation that can be used to infer latent dynamical states by integrating self-motion cues. We studied the influence of sensory observation (visual/vestibular) and latent control dynamics (velocity/acceleration) on ...

Principles of Insect Path Integration [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Continuously monitoring its position in space relative to a goal is one of the most essential tasks for an animal that moves through its environment. Species as diverse as rats, bees, and crabs achieve this by integrating all changes of direction with the distance covered during their foraging trips, a process called path integration.

Not seeing the forest for the trees: combination of path integration and landmark cues in human virtual navigation [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral NeuroscienceIntroductionIn order to successfully move from place to place, our brain often combines sensory inputs from various sources by dynamically weighting spatial cues according to their reliability and relevance for a given task.

Combining symbolic cues with sensory input and prior experience in an iterative Bayesian framework
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 Perception and action are the result of an integration of various sources of information, such as current sensory input, prior experience, or the context in which a stimulus occurs.

Egocentric Navigation Abilities Predict Episodic Memory Performance
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 The medial temporal lobe supports both navigation and declarative memory. On this basis, a theory of phylogenetic continuity has been proposed according to which episodic and semantic memories have evolved from egocentric (e.g., path integration) and ...

Entropy, 2015 There is a well-known analogy between statistical and quantum mechanics. In statistical mechanics, Boltzmann realized that the probability for a system in thermal equilibrium to occupy a given state is proportional to \(\exp(-E/kT)\), where \(E\) is the ...

Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2021 Grid cells are crucial in path integration and representation of the external world. The spikes of grid cells spatially form clusters called grid fields, which encode important information about allocentric positions.

Normalized Gaussian path integrals [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 Path integrals play a crucial role in describing the dynamics of physical systems subject to classical or quantum noise. In fact, when correctly normalized, they express the probability of transition between two states of the system. In this work, we show a consistent approach to solve conditional and unconditional Euclidean (Wiener) Gaussian path ...

Vestibular control of entorhinal cortex activity in spatial navigation
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Navigation in rodents depends on both self-motion (idiothetic) and external (allothetic) information. Idiothetic information has a predominant role when allothetic information is absent or irrelevant.

Influence of Ethnicity, Gender and Answering Mode on a Virtual Point-to-Origin Task
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016 In a virtual point-to-origin task, participants seem to show different response patterns and underlying strategies for orientation, such as turner and non-turner response patterns. Turners respond as if succeeding to update simulated heading changes, and
