Das Reafferenzprinzip. Wechselwirkungen zwischen Zentralnervensystem und Periphase

TL;DR: (~) Wenn man den Strum im Kondensatorkreis um-nittelbar dureh die Spulen Sp~ and Sp~ hindurchsehickt, wird die Phase der Ablenkung des Kathodenstrahlbiindels zur Anfaehung ungeeignet.

A New Solution to the Problem of the Subjective Vertical

TL;DR: The predictions of the theory are confirmed experimentally, proving that not only the visual but also the haptic zenith is shifted towards the long axis by strongly correlated amounts, when the head is pitched backwards.
Book ChapterDOI

Homing by Path Integration

TL;DR: The paper presents experimental evidence for homing by path integration in a bird using a mammalian model case and the essentials of a cybernetical theory of this type of navigation are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Idiothetic navigation in humans: estimation of path length.

TL;DR: In these paradigms path control and perception are mediated by an open-loop performance of the underlying path integration system, calibrated in such a way as to yield veridical estimates during normal walking.
