“…While these results are generally in line with previous research, this study offers three main contributions to the existing body of knowledge: (1) the use of a less elaborate and more clinically oriented testing paradigm, (2) the inclusion of a relatively large cohort of BV patients diagnosed according to the Bárány criteria and (3) the visualization of self-motion perception performance next to vestibular function in BV patients [3,11,17,23,28].…”

Objective Current diagnostic criteria for bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) primarily involve measurements of vestibular reflexes. Perceptual self-motion thresholds however, are not routinely measured and their clinical value in this specific population is not yet fully determined. Objectives of this study were (1) to compare perceptual self-motion thresholds between BV patients and control subjects, and (2) to explore patterns of self-motion perception performance and vestibular function in BV patients. Methods Thirty-seven BV patients and 34 control subjects were included in this study. Perceptual self-motion thresholds were measured in both groups using a CAREN platform (Motek Medical BV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands). Vestibular function was evaluated (only in BV patients) by the caloric test, torsion swing test, video head impulse test of all semicircular canals, and cervical- and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials. Differences in thresholds between both groups were analyzed. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to visualize patterns between self-motion perception and vestibular function within the group of BV patients. Results Perceptual self-motion thresholds were significantly higher in BV patients compared to control subjects, regarding nearly all rotations and translations (depending on the age group) (p ≤ 0.001). Cluster analysis showed that within the group of BV patients, higher perceptual self-motion thresholds were generally associated with lower vestibular test results (significant for yaw rotation, caloric test, torsion swing test, and video head impulse test (p ≤ 0.001)). Conclusion Self-motion perception is significantly decreased in BV patients compared to control subjects regarding nearly all rotations and translations. Furthermore, decreased self-motion perception is generally associated with lower residual vestibular function in BV patients. Trial registration Trial registration number NL52768.068.15/METC

“…Although it is not as extensively studied, the temporal binding window of auditory and vestibular stimuli has been reported to be perceived as simultaneous within a 200-to 300-ms window (22), similar to that reported for visual-auditory stimuli. For visual-vestibular perception of simultaneity, the rotational stimulus, on average, needed to lead the visual stimulus by 80 ms, with the TBW ranging from 13.8 to 395 ms (23). It should be noted that visual-inertial temporal difference perception has been studied in the context of stimuli that are not naturally associated with each other.…”

Heading direction is perceived based on visual and inertial cues. The current study examined the effect of their relative timing on the ability of offset visual headings to influence inertial perception. Seven healthy human subjects experienced 2 s of translation along a heading of 0°, ±35°, ±70°, ±105°, or ±140°. These inertial headings were paired with 2 s duration visual headings that were presented at relative offsets of 0°, ±30°, ±60°, ±90°, or ±120. The visual stimuli were also presented at 17 temporal delays ranging from -500 ms (visual lead) to 2,000 ms (visual delay) relative to the inertial stimulus. After each stimulus, subjects reported the direction of the inertial stimulus using a dial. The bias of the inertial heading towards the visual heading was robust at ±250 ms when examined across subjects during this period: 8.0 ± 0.5° with a 30° offset, 12.2 ± 0.5° with a 60° offset, 11.7 ± 0.6° with a 90° offset, and 9.8 ± 0.7° with a 120° offset (mean bias towards visual ± SE). The mean bias was much diminished with temporal misalignments of ±500 ms, and there was no longer any visual influence on the inertial heading when the visual stimulus was delayed by 1,000 ms or more. Although the amount of bias varied between subjects the effect of delay was similar.

“…5 A role for temporal resynchronization of visuo-vestibular information at the cerebral cortex has also been suggested. 20 Emotional components may also be involved in the habituation observed here, i.e., the arrival in Antarctica in the ice or the return to Hobart and to the civilization, which represent two contexts where emotion and the desire to arrive induce positive feelings in passengers. Although the emotional effect on motion sickness is poorly documented, 1,16 an interaction between the visuo-vestibular system and the emotional system is reported 4,12 and may play a role in reducing or increasing motion sickness.…”

BACKGROUND: The objectives were to assess the prevalence, severity, and medication taken, and to look for predictive factors in order to better identify characteristics of passengers at risk of motion sickness during transport from Hobart in Tasmania to the French polar stations in Antarctica. METHODS: There were 239 passengers who were surveyed over 4 yr with 4 round trips per year using the Motion Sickness Susceptibility Questionnaire (MSSQ), Simulator Sickness Questionnaire (SSQ), state-trait anxiety test (STAI-Trait and STAI-State), and general parameters (age, gender, number of trips, jet-lag, direction of the trip), medication, calculation of the distance of each passengers cabin to the center of gravity (CoG). RESULTS: While the passengers had a low intrinsic sensitivity to motion sickness (MSSQ), 94 reported at least one SSQ symptom of motion sickness, and 38 vomited. Five associated factors were discovered: greater initial sensitivity (MSSQ), anticipation of being ill, younger age, higher level of anxiety at midtrip, and greater distance from the CoG. Of the passengers, there were 54 who took anti-motion sickness medication at different times of the trip, however, these passengers experienced more nausea. This could be due to self-selection since they were more sensitive to motion sickness. CONCLUSION: We identified three predictive factors of motion sickness (greater intrinsic susceptibility, younger age, and greater cabin distance from the CoG). For preventive purposes, two associated factors of MS (anticipation of being ill, MSSQ score) were determined to classify three groups of risk of MS to improve passenger care during the trip.
