It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

This chapter begins by a brief description of some of the different types of simulation tools
and techniques that are being used to study self-motion perception, along with some of the …

When walking through space, both dynamic visual information (optic flow) and body-based
information (proprioceptive and vestibular) jointly specify the magnitude of distance …

Vection is the illusion of self-motion in the absence of real physical movement. The aim of
the present study was to analyze how multisensory inputs (visual and auditory) contribute to …

Background Evidence based virtual environments (VEs) that incorporate compensatory
strategies such as cueing may change motor behavior and increase exercise intensity while …

Spatial updating during self-motion typically involves the appropriate integration of both
visual and non-visual cues, including vestibular and proprioceptive information. Here, we …

Recent research has provided evidence that visual and body-based cues (vestibular,
proprioceptive and efference copy) are integrated using a weighted linear sum during …

In a series of experiments, we tested the hypothesis that severely degraded viewing
conditions during locomotion distort the perception of distance traveled. Some research …

Our laboratory investigates how animals acquire sensory data to understand the neural
computations that permit complex sensorimotor behaviors. We use the rat whisker system as …

Whether a reduced perception of self-motion contributes to poor walking speed adaptations
in older adults is unknown. In this study, speed discrimination thresholds (perceptual task) …
