Self versus environment motion in postural control. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2010
To stabilize our position in space we use visual information as well as non-visual physical motion cues. However, visual cues can be ambiguous: visually perceived motion may be caused by self-movement, movement of the environment, or both.

Encoding of naturalistic optic flow by motion sensitive neurons of nucleus rotundus in the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata).

open access: yesFrontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2013
The retinal image changes that occur during locomotion, the optic flow, carry information about self-motion and the three-dimensional structure of the environment.

How many objects are you worth? Quantification of the self-motion load on multiple object tracking

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Perhaps walking and chewing gum is effortless, but walking and tracking moving objects is not. Multiple object tracking is impaired by walking from one location to another, suggesting that updating location of the self puts demands on object tracking ...

Animal Locomotion in Aristotle: Self-Motion and the Tripartite Scheme

open access: yesMetaphysics
In De Anima III 10, Aristotle proposes a notable tripartite scheme of animal self-locomotion. Though many note that the proximate source of the scheme is in Physics VIII 5 (Ferro 2022; Laks 2020; Polansky 2007; Rapp 2020a; Shields 2016), it is ...

Surface qualities have little effect on vection strength

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
We investigated the effects of different surface qualities of materials on vection strength. Previous studies have extensively examined the stimulus parameters for effective vection induction.

Visual Perception of Self-Motion

open access: yesAnnual Review of Vision Science
Visual perception of self-motion is essential for navigation and environmental interaction. This review examines the mechanisms by which we perceive self-motion, highlighting recent progress and significant findings. It first evaluates optic flow and its critical role in the perception of self-motion, then considers nonflow visual cues that contribute ...

Skull vibration induced nystagmus, velocity storage and self-stability

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
In this paper we give an introduction to the area, followed by brief reviews of the neural response to sound and vibration, and then the velocity storage integrator, before putting forward our hypothesis about the neural input to the velocity storage ...

Exact solutions for chemical concentration waves of self-propelling camphor particles racing on a ring: A novel potential dynamics perspective

open access: yesCondensed Matter Physics, 2014
A potential dynamics approach is developed to determine the periodic standing and traveling wave patterns associated with self-propelling camphor objects floating on ring-shaped water channels. Exact solutions of the wave patterns are derived.

Analytical Inverse Kinematics and Self-Motion Application for 7-DOF Redundant Manipulator

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
This paper studies multiple inverse kinematics solutions for a 7-DOF human redundant manipulator with a special joint configuration. A method is proposed for determining the continuous joint angle vector by selecting the inverse solution from discrete ...

Self-Motion and the Shaping of Sensory Signals

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2010
Sensory systems must form stable representations of the external environment in the presence of self-induced variations in sensory signals. It is also possible that the variations themselves may provide useful information about self-motion relative to the external environment.
