Precision and accuracy are two fundamental properties of any system, including the nervous
system. Reduced precision (ie, imprecision) results from the presence of neural noise at …

Background: The vestibular system detects head accelerations within 6 degrees of freedom.
How well this is accomplished is described by vestibular perceptual thresholds. They are a …

Roll tilt vestibular perceptual thresholds, an assay of vestibular noise, have recently been
shown to be associated with suboptimal balance performance in healthy older adults …

When measuring thresholds, careful selection of stimulus amplitude can increase efficiency
by increasing the precision of psychometric fit parameters (eg, decreasing the fit parameter …

When making perceptual decisions, humans have been shown to optimally integrate
independent noisy multisensory information, matching maximum-likelihood (ML) limits. Such …

Prior studies show that visual motion perception is more precise than vestibular motion
perception, but it is unclear whether this is universal or the result of specific experimental …

Accurate perception of gravity and translation is fundamental for balance, navigation, and
motor control. Previous studies have reported that perceptual thresholds for earth-vertical …

The present study aimed to determine if a vestibular perceptual learning intervention could
improve roll tilt self-motion perception and balance performance. Two intervention groups …

In an effort to characterize the factors influencing the perception of self-motion rotational
cues, vestibular self-motion perceptual thresholds were measured in 14 subjects for …

Earlier spatial orientation studies used both motion-detection (eg, did I move?) and direction-
recognition (eg, did I move left/right?) paradigms. The purpose of our study was to compare …
