Self-consciousness is the remarkable human experience of being a subject: the “I”. Self-
consciousness is typically bound to a body, and particularly to the spatial dimensions of the …

A growing number of studies in humans demonstrate the involvement of vestibular
information in tasks that are seemingly remote from well-known functions such as space …

Recent research in cognitive neuroscience using virtual reality, robotic technology and brain
imaging has linked self-consciousness to the processing and integration of multisensory …

Vestibular information has been traditionally considered as a specialized input for basic
orienting behaviours, such as oculo-motor adjustments, postural control and gaze …

Static body equilibrium is an essential requisite for human daily life. It is known that visual
and vestibular systems must work together to support equilibrium. However, the relationship …

The vestibular system has widespread interactions with multisensory cortical networks,
including the somatosensory areas. Several clinical observations suggested that vestibular …

Background Clinical evidence suggests a link between vestibular dysfunctions and mood
disorders. No study has yet investigated mood and affective control during vestibular …

Social cognition encompasses perception of self and others as well as self-other
interactions. Self-other interactions rely on a wide range of cognitive processes such as …

Vestibular signals allow us to maintain balance and orient ourselves in space. However, the
possible contribution of the vestibular sense to the perception of the body as one's own …

The vestibular system has widespread interactions with other sensory modalities. Here we
investigate whether vestibular stimulation modulates somatosensory function, by assessing …
