The paper compares four model frameworks in R for analyzing psychophysical data, focusing on two-level and hierarchical approaches for group-level inference.

This study investigates how the brain processes vertical motion using visual and vestibular cues, finding that downward motion is perceived as shorter than upward motion, with variability in visual-vestibular integration.

The paper shows that small stochastic whole-body perturbations improve vestibular motion discrimination thresholds in young healthy humans, suggesting a stochastic resonance mechanism.
