The aim of this paper is to provide a first review of studies related to auditorily-induced self-
motion (vection). These studies have been scarce and scattered over the years and over …

Detection of the state of self-motion, such as the instantaneous heading direction, the
traveled trajectory and traveled distance or time, is critical for efficient spatial navigation …

The perception of angular displacement during self turning is generally based on a
combination of redundant signals from different sources. For example, during active turning …

In this paper a novel electrically actuated parallel robot with three degrees-of-freedom (3
DOF) for dynamic postural studies is presented. The design has been described, the …

Path integration is fundamental to human navigation. When a navigator leaves home on a
complex outbound path, they are able to keep track of their approximate position and …

Path integration or'dead reckoning'is the ability to keep track of relative position using self-
motion signals that convey information about speed and direction of movement. Most animal …

Path integration—the constant updating of position and orientation in an environment—is an
important component of spatial navigation, however, its mechanisms are poorly understood …

The vestibular system constitutes the silent sixth sense: It automatically triggers a variety of
vital reflexes to maintain postural and visual stability. Beyond their role in reflexive behavior …

Balance disorders are frequent with aging. They are particularly important because they
decrease social autonomy of the aged subjects and they often provoke falls. The cause is …

We investigated the relative weighting of vestibular, optokinetic and podokinetic (foot and
leg proprioceptive) cues for the perception of self-turning in an environment which was …
