A multisensory observer model for human spatial orientation perception
Quantitative "observer" models for spatial orientation and eye movements have been developed based on 1-G data from humans and animals (e.g. Oman 1982, 1991, Merfeld, et al 1993, 2002; Haslwanter 2000, Vingerhoets 2006). These models assume that the CNS estimates "down", head angular velocity and …

Human perception and control of vehicle roll tilt in hyper-gravity
… in which they must maintain accurate perception and control of vehicle orientation for tasks such as landing and docking. To study sensorimotor function in altered gravity, a hyper-gravity test-bed was produced using a centrifuge. Previous experiments have quantified static tilt …

Human spatial orientation perceptions during simulated lunar landing
… were used as inputs to a mathematical model for orientation system function, to predict human perception of orientation and identify disorientating illusions. Simulations were conducted using the vestibular-only portion of the model as well as incorporating the activation of visual cues. Dust …

Avoiding Stigma by Doing Sexuality: A Qualitative Study of Self-identified Bisexual Men and Women
… women use gender to convey messages of sexual orientation to avoid stigma or questioning of their sexuality. This study adds to the current literature on bisexuality by examining the connection between gender and sexual orientation perception. Drawing primarily on the symbolic interactionist …

The Variable Vector Countermeasure Suit for space habitation and exploration
… In microgravity, visual cues are dominant for orientation perception and one's perceived direction of "down" may change for a variety of reasons. The resistance felt by the V2suit wearer is a gyroscopic torque vector perpendicular to the direction of "down"; in order to send appropriate motor …

Mind-craft: Exploring the relation between "digital" visual experience and orientation in visual contour perception
<p>Visual perception depends fundamentally on statistical regularities in the environment to make sense of the world. One such regularity is the orientation anisotropy typical of natural scenes; most natural scenes contain slightly more horizontal and vertical information than oblique information. …
