Symposium Overview
Our symposium will present 4 different aspects of multisensory information involving the vestibular system
F. Dorrichi will present data whowing that vestibular information can induce an attentional bias in visual perception in human subjects and patients with neglect.
A. Berthoz will present data on visual/kinesthetic and vestibular integration during conflict solving between kinesthetic plus vestibular information and visual information during navigation using virtual reality
P. Thier will deal with neuronal basis of visual /vestibualr integration in the parietal cortex of the monkey and also in humans. S. Smith will talk about visual-vesibular integration in humans.
