There has been a recent major upsurge in the concerns about reproducibility in many areas of science. Within the neuroimaging domain, one approach is to promote reproducibility is to target the re-executability of the publication. The information supporting such re-executability can enable the detailed examination of how an initial finding generalizes across changes in the processing approach, and sampled population, in a controlled scientific fashion.

Vestibular signals allow us to maintain balance and orient ourselves in space. However, the possible contribution of the vestibular sense to the perception of the body as one's own (body ownership) remains poorly understood. The aim of the present study was to investigate how vestibular information contributes to the experience of body ownership using multisensory integration.

To perceive the orientation of oneself with respect to the external environment would seem to first require that one has a clear sense of one's own body ('sense of body ownership'). However, the experimental evidence for this is sparse.

Yet, how vestibular disorders affect own-body representations, in particular the perceived body shape and size, has been overlooked. Here, we explored vestibular contributions to own-body representations using two approaches.
