Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in blood volume alter the perception of posture
TL;DR: The results corroborate the hypothesis of an effect of the blood's mass on graviception and also indicate supplementary contributions of other visceral afferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determinants of orientation in microgravity
TL;DR: It turns out that a good fit to the baseline results and a satisfactory prediction of the perceived orientation in microgravity can be obtained if the otolithic output is assumed to be normalized, but that of the somatic gravity sensors is not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crucial effects of weightlessness on human orientation.
TL;DR: This contribution disproves that the necessary head-to-trunk coordinate transformation be achieved by adding representations of the respective angles gained by utricles and neck receptors, but corroborates an extant model of cross-multiplication of utricular, saccular, and neck receptor components.
Book ChapterDOI
The Formation of the Visual and the Postural Vertical
TL;DR: The authors summarizes the extant facts on the causal processing of the perceived orientation of the visual field and one's own body to the vertical, the conclusions derived from them and the hypotheses evoked by, as well as the theories developed from these findings.
