Spatial updating and the maintenance of visual constancy

EM Klier, DE Angelaki - Neuroscience, 2008 - Elsevier
Spatial updating is the means by which we keep track of the locations of objects in space
even as we move. Four decades of research have shown that humans and non-human …

Visual object localisation in space: Interaction of retinal, eye position, vestibular and neck proprioceptive information

T Mergner, G Nasios, C Maurer, W Becker - Experimental Brain Research, 2001 - Springer
Perceptual updating of the location of visual targets in space after intervening eye, head or
trunk movements requires an interaction between several afferent signals (visual …

Proprioceptive guidance of saccades in eye–hand coordination

L Ren, AZ Khan, G Blohm… - Journal of …, 2006 - journals.physiology.org
The saccade generator updates memorized target representations for saccades during eye
and head movements. Here, we tested if proprioceptive feedback from the arm can also …

Dependence of auditory spatial updating on vestibular, proprioceptive, and efference copy signals

D Genzel, U Firzlaff, L Wiegrebe… - Journal of …, 2016 - journals.physiology.org
Humans localize sounds by comparing inputs across the two ears, resulting in a head-
centered representation of sound-source position. When the head moves, information about …

Prolonged asymmetric vestibular stimulation induces opposite, long‐term effects on self‐motion perception and ocular responses

VE Pettorossi, R Panichi, FM Botti… - The Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Key points• The semicircular canals of the labyrinths are a source of information for self‐
motion perception and reflex eye movements.• Prolonged vestibular asymmetric stimulation …

Spatial memory following shifts of gaze. I. Saccades to memorized world-fixed and gaze-fixed targets

JT Baker, TM Harper… - Journal of …, 2003 - journals.physiology.org
During a shift of gaze, an object can move along with gaze or stay fixed in the world. To
examine the effect of an object's reference frame on spatial working memory, we trained …

Neck proprioception compensates for age-related deterioration of vestibular self-motion perception

G Schweigart, RD Chien, T Mergner - Experimental brain research, 2002 - Springer
Vestibular functions are known to show some deterioration with age. Vestibular deterioration
is often thought to be compensated for by an increase in neck proprioceptive gain. We …

Influence of dynamic tilts on the perception of earth-vertical

K Jaggi-Schwarz, BJM Hess - Experimental brain research, 2003 - Springer
The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that optimal activation of both the
semicircular canals and the otoliths provides reliable vestibular cues about self-orientation …

A modeling approach to the human spatial orientation system

T MERGNER, W Becker - Annals of the New York Academy of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The human spatial orientation system is highly complex and nonlinear. It is difficult,
therefore, to arrive at an unequivocal model of the underlying processing by merely …
