We inherently maintain a stable perception of the world despite frequent changes in the
head, eye, and body positions. Such “orientation constancy” is a prerequisite for coherent …

A seated user watching his avatar walking in Virtual Reality (VR) may have an impression of
walking. In this paper, we show that such an impression can be extended to other postures …

Gravity is a pervasive environmental stimulus, and accurate graviception is required for
optimal spatial orientation and postural stability. The primary graviceptors are the vestibular …

El objetivo de este artículo es considerar los principales recursos en los que se basa el
control postural, para comprender mejor la complejidad de esta función y enfrentarse a la …

Numerous studies highlighted the influence of a tilted visual frame on the perception of the
visual vertical ('rod-and-frame effect'or RFE). Here, we investigated whether this influence …

BACKGROUND: Space motion sickness (SMS) remains a troublesome problem during
spaceflight. The subjective vertical (SV) conflict theory postulates that all motion sickness …

Focusing gaze on a target helps stabilize upright posture. We investigated how this visual
stabilization can be affected by observing a target presented under different gaze and …

Previous studies showed that the vestibular system is crucial for multisensory integration,
however, its contribution to bodily self-consciousness more specifically on full-body illusions …

When programming movement, one must account for gravitational acceleration. This is
particularly important when catching a falling object because the task requires a precise …

Here we investigated how well internal estimates of direction of gravity are preserved over
time and if the subjective visual vertical (SVV) and horizontal (SVH) can be used inter …
