Article Synopsis
- Oscillating animals in and out-of-phase changes their head orientation relative to gravity, cycling through positions like nose-up and ear-down.
- Rotations about a tilted longitudinal axis can also shift head orientation relative to gravity, while the inner ear's otolith organs detect changes in orientation, and semicircular canals detect velocity oscillations only.
- Monkeys were able to accurately estimate their spin velocity during these maneuvers, and simulations indicate that the brain integrates gravity and velocity information for a coherent understanding of head motion in three dimensions.
