The strategy of integrating motor signals with sensory information during voluntary behavior
is a general feature of sensory processing. It is required to distinguish externally applied (…

In everyday life, vestibular sensors are activated by both self-generated and externally
applied head movements. The ability to distinguish inputs that are a consequence of our own …

During self-motion, the vestibular system makes essential contributions to postural stability
and self-motion perception. To ensure accurate perception and motor control, it is critical to …

There is considerable evidence that the cerebellum has a vital role in motor learning by
constructing an estimate of the sensory consequences of movement. Theory suggests that this …

Background The ability to distinguish sensory signals that register unexpected events (exafference)
from those generated by voluntary actions (reafference) during self-motion is …

The ability to accurately control posture and perceive self-motion and spatial orientation
requires knowledge of the motion of both the head and body. However, whereas the vestibular …

The ability to keep track of where we are going as we navigate through our environment
requires knowledge of our ongoing location and orientation. In response to passively applied …

Traditionally, the neural encoding of vestibular information is studied by applying either
passive rotations or translations in isolation. However, natural vestibular stimuli are typically …

Most of our sensory experiences are gained by active exploration of the world. While the ability
to distinguish sensory inputs resulting of our own actions (termed reafference) from those …

Our vestibular organs are simultaneously activated by our own actions as well as by stimulation
from the external world. The ability to distinguish sensory inputs that are a consequence …
