Abstract

During natural movement on the earth’s surface, we are seldom aware of vestibular sensations, and when we do become aware of them, they usually signify an unnatural stimulus or an abnormality of vestibular function. With specially contrived conditions of observation, relationships between acceleratory stimuli and vestibular sensations and perceptions can be described quantitatively and qualitatively. These relationships constitute the primary subject matter of this chapter, but to appreciate this material in relation to daily experiences, we must first consider why vestibular sensations do not typically achieve conscious awareness during natural voluntary head and body movement.
