This study finds that baseline perceptual gravity weighting is associated with reduced cybersickness susceptibility during VR with electrical vestibular stimulation.

Vestibulomotor Weighting Associated with Cybersickness in Virtual Reality

This study links baseline vestibulomotor weighting to cybersickness susceptibility in VR, showing increased reliance on vestibular input and adaptive reweighting during exposure.

Metacognitive Reactivity and Temporal Perception: The Influence of Confidence Ratings on the Temporal Binding Window

This study investigates how confidence ratings affect temporal binding windows in two time perception tasks, finding reactivity effects and shared mechanisms between perceptual and metacognitive processes.

Dynamics of sensorimotor reweighting: How light touch alters vestibular-evoked balance responses.

This study investigates how light touch affects vestibular-evoked balance responses by altering sensory cue weighting in the central nervous system.

Investigating the effect of visual threat in virtual reality on perceiving postural instability onset

This study investigates how visual threat in virtual reality affects the perceived timing of postural instability onset and finds that visual threat improves judgment precision.

Perceived Timing of Postural Instability Onset With and Without Vision

This study investigates how vision affects the perception of postural instability onset using a Temporal Order Judgment task, finding no significant effect of visual feedback on perceived timing or precision.

Perceived timing of postural instability onset

This study investigates whether the perceived timing of postural instability onset differs between equal and unequal stimulus onset asynchrony distributions using a Temporal Order Judgment task.

Sensory Reweighting: A Common Mechanism for Subjective Visual Vertical and Cybersickness Susceptibility

This study investigates how exposure to VR affects sensory reweighting and relates it to cybersickness susceptibility by measuring changes in subjective visual vertical and sickness severity.

Off-Vertical Body Orientation Delays the Perceived Onset of Visual Motion

This study shows that off-vertical body orientations delay the perceived onset of visual motion due to vestibular signal conflicts.

Evaluating the Effect of Semantic Congruency and Valence on Multisensory Integration

This study investigates how semantic congruency and valence affect multisensory integration using reaction time and temporal order judgment tasks, finding significant effects and interactions.

Visual self-motion feedback affects the sense of self in virtual reality

This study shows that congruent visual feedback of self-motion in virtual reality overrides biological sex in shaping the sense of self.

Limits of subjective and objective vection for ultra-high frame rate visual displays

This study investigates vection perception at varying frame rates, finding that subjective vection peaks at 60 FPS while objective measures show increased COP path length at ultra-high frame rates.

Narrative and gaming experience interact to affect presence and cybersickness in virtual reality

The paper examines how narrative and gaming experience influence presence and cybersickness in virtual reality, finding that enriched narrative increases presence and reduces cybersickness, particularly for experienced gamers.

Reduction of cybersickness during and immediately following noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation

This study investigates whether noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation reduces cybersickness during and immediately after virtual reality exposure, finding it effective for intense VR content but not moderate content.

Temporal Metrics of Multisensory Processing Change in the Elderly

The paper examines age-related changes in multisensory temporal processing using three tasks, finding age-related differences in race model violation and its relation to temporal order judgment.

Perceived timing of active head movement at different speeds

This study investigates how the perceived timing of active head movement relates to its speed, finding that faster movements are perceived as occurring more quickly, though still with a delay.

Estimating the sensorimotor components of cybersickness

This study identifies sensorimotor factors contributing to cybersickness by analyzing balance control, vection, and vestibular sensitivity, finding that balance measures predict 37% of cybersickness variability.
