| Summary | Vestibular information is important in establishing a child's static and dynamic postural control. Any vestibular deficit can have major consequences on development, spatial cognition and quality of life. In order to interact with the world around us, we must simultaneously integrate different sources of sensory informations (vision, hearing, perception of the body...). The brain integrates these different sensory components to form a unified and coherent perception: this is multisensory integration. Multisensory integration has been studied using virtual reality in adults, in the "spatial orientation" team of the Center for Integrative Neurosciences and Cognition. These experiments were carried out on healthy subjects and in weightless situations (international space station or parabolic |
