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 …

Perception of upright: multisensory convergence and the role of temporo-parietal cortex

A Kheradmand, A Winnick - Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
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 …

Multisensory processing in spatial orientation: an inverse probabilistic approach
