  The separate and combined influences of otolith and nonotolith sensory inputs upon perception of the oculogravic illusion were investigated by manipulating the visual and gravitoinertial force environments.

  It has been shown that imposed accelerations above 0.2 Hz are usually perceived as translation of self through space, whereas imposed accelerations below that value are usually perceived as a change in direction of the gravitoinertial acceleration vector, i.e., tilt of self with respect to the assumed gravity vertical [38 ].
