No Evidence for a Vestibular Contribution to Object Motion Prediction

2026-02-06

Abstract excerpt

Humans can predict an object’s motion better if its movements are consistent with gravity. Here we investigate whether this may be due to an internalized strong Earth gravity prior or to vestibular cues reporting instantaneous information about gravity. These two directions can be separated using virtual reality by providing strong visual cues to the direction of up which may or may not be aligned with true gravit...
