Seismic air guns damage rock lobster mechanosensory organs and impair righting reflex [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 The effects of anthropogenic aquatic noise on marine invertebrates are poorly understood. We investigated the impact of seismic surveys on the righting reflex and statocyst morphology of the palinurid rock lobster,Jasus edwardsii, using field-based exposure to air gun signals.

Postural compensation strategy depends on the severity of vestibular damage
Heliyon, 2017 The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of various levels of vestibular function on balance in two, free-standing rhesus monkeys. We hypothesized that postural control strategy depended on the severity of vestibular damage.

Gaze-contingent flicker pupil perimetry detects scotomas in patients with cerebral visual impairments or glaucoma [PDF]
, 2018 The pupillary light reflex is weaker for stimuli presented inside as compared to outside absolute scotomas. Pupillograph perimetry could thus be an objective measure of impaired visual processing.
