Finding Home: Landmark Ambiguity in Human Navigation.

Memories of places often include landmark cues, i.e., information provided by the spatial arrangement of distinct objects with respect to the target location.

Going round the bend: Persistent personal biases in walked angles.

For navigation through our environment, we can rely on information from various modalities, such as vision and audition. This information enables us for example to estimate our position relative to the starting position, or to integrate velocity and acceleration signals from the vestibular organ and proprioception to estimate the displacement due to self-motion. To better understand the mechanisms that underlie human navigation we analysed the performance of participants in an angle-walking task in the absence of visual and auditory signals.
