Vestibular modulation of peripersonal space boundaries

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Jean-Paul Noel, Christian Pfeiffer

Human-environment interactions are mediated through the body and occur within the peripersonal space (PPS), the space immediately adjacent to and surrounding the body. The PPS is taken to be a critical interface between the body and the environment, and in ...

Differential effects of vestibular processing on orienting exogenous and endogenous covert visual attention

Olaf Blanke, Andrea Serino, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steve Michel Berger

Recent research highlights the overwhelming role of vestibular information for higher order cognition. Central to body perception, vestibular cues provide information about self-location in space, self-motion versus object motion, and modulate the percepti ...

Up-Down Chair: A novel mechatronic device to assess otolith function in patients with vestibular disorders

Silvestro Micera

This paper describes a novel mechatronic platform, named "Up-Down Chair" (UDC), aimed at investigating otolith function in patients with vestibular disorders. The UDC was designed to provide a wide range of repeatable and controllable vertical oscillations ...

Study of tonotopic brain changes with functional MRI and FDG-PET in a patient with unilateral objective cochlear tinnitus

Melissa Saenz

We studied possible brain changes with functional MRI (fMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in a patient with a rare, high-intensity "objective tinnitus" (high-level SOAEs) in the left ear of 10 years duration, with no associ ...

Characterization of pulse amplitude and pulse rate modulation for a human vestibular implant during acute electrical stimulation

Silvestro Micera, Thuy Anh Khoa Nguyen, Maurizio Ranieri

Objective. The vestibular system provides essential information about balance and spatial orientation via the brain to other sensory and motor systems. Bilateral vestibular loss significantly reduces quality of life, but vestibular implants (VIs) have demo ...

Distinct vestibular effects on early and late somatosensory cortical processing in humans

Olaf Blanke, Fosco Bernasconi, Michiel van Elk, Christian Pfeiffer

In non-human primates several brain areas contain neurons that respond to both vestibular and somatosensory stimulation. In humans, vestibular stimulation activates several somatosensory brain regions and improves tactile perception. However, less is known ...

Balancing the Self

Mariia Kaliuzhna

The vestibular system is composed of otolith organs and semi-circular canals that encode linear and angular accelerations, as well as the position of the head with respect to gravity. Thus, the detection of self-motion, the distinction between self- and ob ...

A Computational Framework for Electrical Stimulation of Vestibular Nerve

Silvestro Micera, Marco Capogrosso

The vestibular organs are very important to generate reflexes critical for stabilizing gaze and body posture. Vestibular diseases significantly reduce the quality of life of people who are affected by them. Some research groups have recently started develo ...

Vestibular Processing and its Cortical Signature in Humans

Steven Gale

The vestibular system encodes rotations and translations of the head in space. While much is known about cortical processing of the classical Aristotelian sensory modalities, such as vision and touch, knowledge of how vestibular stimulation is encoded in t ...

Oscillatory neural responses evoked by natural vestibular stimuli in humans

Olaf Blanke, Bruno Herbelin, Christophe Lopez, Aaron Schurger, Steven Gale

While there have been numerous studies of the vestibular system in mammals, less is known about the brain mechanisms of vestibular processing in humans. In particular, of the studies that have been carried out in humans over the last 30 years, none has inv ...
