Metabolic and functional connectivity changes in mal de debarquement syndrome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Individuals with mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS) experience a chronic illusion of self-motion triggered by prolonged exposure to passive motion, such as from sea or air travel. The experience is one of rocking dizziness similar to when the individual

Demonstrating the potential for dynamic auditory stimulation to contribute to motion sickness. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Auditory cues can create the illusion of self-motion (vection) in the absence of visual or physical stimulation. The present study aimed to determine whether auditory cues alone can also elicit motion sickness and how auditory cues contribute to motion ...

Does chronic idiopathic dizziness reflect an impairment of sensory predictions of self-motion?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
Most patients suffering from chronic idiopathic dizziness do not present signs of vestibular dysfunction or organic failures of other kinds. Hence, this kind of dizziness is commonly seen as psychogenic in nature, sharing commonalities with specific ...

Facilitation of imitative movement in patients with chronic hemiplegia triggered by illusory ownership

Scientific Reports, 2023
The sense of body ownership, the feeling that one’s body belongs to oneself, is a crucial subjective conscious experience of one’s body. Recent methodological advances regarding crossmodal illusions have provided novel insights into how multisensory ...

Out-of-body illusion induced by visual-vestibular stimulation

iScience
Summary: Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are characterized by the subjective feeling of being located outside one’s physical body and perceiving one’s own body from an elevated perspective looking downwards.

Do Tax Incentives for Farmland Leases Increase Farm Supply? Evidence From Iowa's Beginning Farmer Tax Credit

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...

Modulation of visually evoked postural responses by contextual visual, haptic and auditory information: a 'virtual reality check'. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Externally generated visual motion signals can cause the illusion of self-motion in space (vection) and corresponding visually evoked postural responses (VEPR).
