Computational approaches to spatial orientation: from transfer functions to dynamic Bayesian inference

PR MacNeilage, N Ganesan… - Journal of …, 2008 - journals.physiology.org
Spatial orientation is the sense of body orientation and self-motion relative to the stationary
environment, fundamental to normal waking behavior and control of everyday motor actions …

Multisensory integration in self motion perception

…, F Bremmer, J Churan, LF Cuturi, PR MacNeilage… - Multisensory …, 2016 - brill.com
Self motion perception involves the integration of visual, vestibular, somatosensory and motor
signals. This article reviews the findings from single unit electrophysiology, functional and …

A Bayesian model of the disambiguation of gravitoinertial force by visual cues

PR MacNeilage, MS Banks, DR Berger… - Experimental Brain …, 2007 - Springer
The otoliths are stimulated in the same fashion by gravitational and inertial forces, so otolith
signals are ambiguous indicators of self-orientation. The ambiguity can be resolved with …

Vestibular heading discrimination and sensitivity to linear acceleration in head and world coordinates

PR MacNeilage, MS Banks, GC DeAngelis… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Effective navigation and locomotion depend critically on an observer's ability to judge direction
of linear self-motion, ie, heading. The vestibular cue to heading is the direction of inertial …

[PDF][PDF] Teleportation without Spatial Disorientation Using Optical Flow Cues.

J Bhandari, PR MacNeilage, E Folmer - Graphics interface, 2018 - graphicsinterface.org
Teleportation is a popular locomotion technique that lets users navigate beyond the confines
of limited available positional tracking space. Because it discontinuously translates the …

[HTML][HTML] Systematic biases in human heading estimation

LF Cuturi, PR MacNeilage - PloS one, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Heading estimation is vital to everyday navigation and locomotion. Despite extensive behavioral
and physiological research on both visual and vestibular heading estimation over more …

[HTML][HTML] Head motion predictability explains activity-dependent suppression of vestibular balance control

H Dietrich, F Heidger, R Schniepp, PR MacNeilage… - Scientific Reports, 2020 - nature.com
Vestibular balance control is dynamically weighted during locomotion. This might result from
a selective suppression of vestibular inputs in favor of a feed-forward balance regulation …

[HTML][HTML] Vestibular facilitation of optic flow parsing

PR MacNeilage, Z Zhang, GC DeAngelis… - PLoS One, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Simultaneous object motion and self-motion give rise to complex patterns of retinal image
motion. In order to estimate object motion accurately, the brain must parse this complex retinal …

Clinical testing of otolith function: perceptual thresholds and myogenic potentials

…, O Kremmyda, M Strupp, PR MacNeilage - Journal of the …, 2013 - Springer
… subject on each trial, we have previously used an accelerometer mounted on the platform to
verify that the platform reproduces the desired trajectories very accurately (MacNeilage et al. …

[HTML][HTML] Comparison of linear motion perception thresholds in vestibular migraine and Menière's disease

…, R Strobl, N Böttcher, M Strupp, PR MacNeilage - European archives of …, 2016 - Springer
Linear motion perceptual thresholds (PTs) were compared between patients with Menière’s
disease (MD) and vestibular migraine (VM). Twenty patients with VM, 27 patients with MD …
