Auditory spatial orientation [PDF]
An experiment is reported on the effect of six consecutive days of exposure to distortions of binaural time and intensity cues on the localization function for tones of 350, 1000, and 4000 Hz. Tests were conducted under “free-field” conditions. The changes in auditory spatial orientation indicate that adjustments to binaurally distorted temporal and ...

Multisensory integration in spatial orientation [PDF]
Recent psychophysical studies on normal subjects, as well as brain imaging studies, have revised the concepts concerning the mechanisms underlying spatial orientation during navigation tasks. The emphasis has been put on internal models that allow the prediction of a planned trajectory and are essential in the steering of locomotion.

Vibrotactile feedback as a countermeasure for spatial disorientation
Spaceflight can make astronauts susceptible to spatial disorientation which is one of the leading causes of fatal aircraft accidents. In our experiment, blindfolded participants used a joystick to balance themselves while inside a multi-axis rotation ...

Crash Prediction Using Deep Learning in a Disorienting Spaceflight Analog Balancing Task
Were astronauts forced to land on the surface of Mars using manual control of their vehicle, they would not have familiar gravitational cues because Mars’ gravity is only 0.38 g.

Spatial Orientation in Persian Language [PDF]
One of the most important issues in cognitive linguistics is Spatial Orientation. Languages use sources such as human body (body-part), landmarks, dynamic concept (typically motion verbs like come, go, etc.) and cardinal direction to conceptualize ...

The Scientific Contributions of Bernard Cohen (1929–2019)
Throughout Bernard Cohen's active career at Mount Sinai that lasted over a half century, he was involved in research on vestibular control of the oculomotor, body postural, and autonomic systems in animals and humans, contributing to our understanding of

Normal Cognitive Aging: Age Related Cognitive Changes in Elderly [PDF]
Age-related cognitive changes are inevitable in old ages, but the influence of variables such as education, fluid intelligence, and social components challenge the exact understanding of these changes and no clear picture on normal cognitive changes ...

A Bio-Inspired 3-D Neural Compass Based on Head Direction Cells
Head direction cells (HDCs) in mammals’ brains are thought to provide the sense of direction (function of a compass). They fire when the animal’s head points to a specific orientation.
