Optimal visuo-vestibular integration for self-motion perception in patients with unilateral vestibular loss

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steven Gale

Unilateral vestibular loss (UVL) is accompanied by deficits in processing of visual and vestibular self-motion cues. The present study examined whether multisensory integration of these two types of information is, nevertheless, intact in such patients. Pa ...

Performance monitoring for brain-computer-interface actions

Olaf Blanke, Aaron Schurger, Steven Gale, Olivia Gozel

When presented with a difficult perceptual decision, human observers are able to make metacognitive judgements of subjective certainty. Such judgements can be made independently of and prior to any overt response to a sensory stimulus, presumably via inter ...

Learning to integrate contradictory multisensory self-motion cue pairings

Olaf Blanke, Mariia Kaliuzhna, Steven Gale, Sunho Lee

Humans integrate multisensory information to reduce perceptual uncertainty when perceiving the world and self. Integration fails, however, if a common causality is not attributed to the sensory signals, as would occur in conditions of spatiotemporal discre ...

Visual Feedback Dominates the Sense of Agency for Brain-Machine Actions

Olaf Blanke, Aaron Schurger, Nathaniel Evans, Steven Gale

Recent advances in neuroscience and engineering have led to the development of technologies that permit the control of external devices through real-time decoding of brain activity (brain-machine interfaces; BMI). Though the feeling of controlling bodily m ...

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 ...

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 ...

Self-motion leads to mandatory cue fusion across sensory modalities

Olaf Blanke, Steven Gale

When perceiving properties of the world, we effortlessly combine multiple sensory cues into optimal estimates. Estimates derived from the individual cues are generally retained once the multisensory estimate is produced and discarded only if the cues stem ...
