Self Motion and the Vestibular Foundations of Spatial Cognition:Neurophysiological and Computational Mechanisms

摘要

The overall specific aim of the project is to understand the biological basis ofhow information derived from the body's motion in space interacts with information about visual landmarks, to generate a high level spatial reference framework in the mammalian CNS. A better understanding of these higher level systems for spatial orientation will ultimately aid in the development of technologies for the prevention of spatial disorientation related aviation accidents.
