Hi SciTwitter, I’d like to show how nice the #vestibular system is from a systems & #computationalneuroscience point of view. I am preparing a series of threads about classical vestibular experiments, with internal models and #Bayesian explanations. Chapter 1&2 coming soon!
Chapter 1, about the semi-circular canals and rotation perception, is here: https://twitter.com/JeanLaurensLab/status/1302873393834995713?s=20
Chapter 2 is about canal-otolith conflict and internal models!

Chapter 2: https://twitter.com/JeanLaurensLab/status/1305747542437769217
Chapter 3 is about tilt/translation discrimination and the somatogravic effect!

Chapter 4 is about the multisensory (vestibular, visual, gravity cues) and dynamics aspects of rotation perception, with a Bayesian interpretation. https://twitter.com/JeanLaurensLab/status/1316297074493849605
Chapter 5 is an analysis of why the high-pass dynamics of semi-circular canals is important, even during rapid natural movements. It explains why the brain needs central computations to compensate for it. https://twitter.com/JeanLaurensLab/status/1348656605970231298
