Abstract

In order to explore the effect of gaze orientation on whole-body rotation perception, ten healthy participants were rotated in the dark while fixating on a visual target located either straight ahead or 15 degrees to the right. A vestibular-memory contingent saccade paradigm was used to estimate the rotation perception. The results attest to the participants' ability to accurately perceive their rotation, based solely on the intrinsic inputs (somesthetic and mainly vestibular), since the correlation between the imposed body rotation and the saccade amplitude was significant and positive. However, the rotation perception was less accurate and of lesser magnitude when the gaze was deviated in the opposite direction to the rotation than when it was either straight ahead or deviated in the direction of the rotation. This can be interpreted as the perceptual equivalent of Alexander's law.

  • During angular acceleration, voluntary deviation of the eyes in the direction of the slow phase component of reflexive eye movements is provocative and increases body displacement.

    “During exposure to angular acceleration, voluntary deviation of the eyes in the direction of the slow phase component of the reflexive eye movements is provocative and also increases the body displacement experienced (Evanoff and Lackner 1986; Quarck et al. 2009).”

    From Motion sickness: more than nausea and vomiting (2014) · cites this paper as Quarck et al. 2009

    The Introduction identifies the slow-phase direction as opposite to body rotation. The ‘Effect of eye position on body rotation perception’ section reports that gaze deviated in that direction produced a less accurate perception of lesser magnitude, not increased experienced displacement. The paper does not describe that deviation as provocative. (LLM, conf=0.90)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

  • Suppression of vestibulo-ocular reflexes is evocative of motion sickness even when the individual's eyes are in darkness.

    “Suppression of vestibulo-ocular reflexes is even evocative of motion sickness when the individual’s eyes in darkness.”

    From Motion sickness: more than nausea and vomiting (2014) · cites this paper as Quarck et al. 2009

    The Introduction (page unavailable) describes suppressing the vestibulo-ocular reflex during whole-body rotation in darkness. It does not say that this evokes motion sickness; the paper discusses perceived rotation, not sickness. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
