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 …

Perception of a stimulus can be characterized by two fundamental psychophysical
measures: how well the stimulus can be discriminated from similar ones (discrimination …

Bayesian observer models provide a principled account of the fact that our perception of the
world rarely matches physical reality. The standard explanation is that our percepts are …

Detection of the state of self-motion, such as the instantaneous heading direction, the
traveled trajectory and traveled distance or time, is critical for efficient spatial navigation …

The precision of multisensory perception improves when cues arising from the same cause
are integrated, such as visual and vestibular heading cues for an observer moving through a …

The thalamus contains third-order relay neurons of the trigeminal system, and animal
models as well as preliminary imaging studies in small cohorts of migraine patients have …

Falls are a common cause of injury in older adults (OAs), and age-related declines across
the sensory systems are associated with increased falls risk. The vestibular system is …

Previous work has revealed that the heading perception from optic flow can be either
attracted to the straight-ahead direction showing a center bias or repelled away from the …

Humans and animals are fairly accurate in judging their direction of self-motion (ie, heading)
from optic flow when moving through a stationary environment. However, an object moving …

A large body of research shows that the Central Nervous System (CNS) integrates
multisensory information. However, this strategy should only apply to multisensory signals …
