Our new paper on vestibular role in self-representation and egocentric space

Our latest paper with UCL and NTT colleagues provides new insights on the vestibular contribution to self-representation and egocentric space.

"We found that artificial stimulation of the vestibular system biased body midline perception. Importantly, no effect was found on motor effector selection. We also ruled out additional explanations based on allocentric visual representations and on potential indirect effects caused by vestibular-driven movements of the eyes, head and body. Taken together our data suggest that vestibular information contributes to computation of egocentric representations by affecting the internal representation of the body midline."
