Different senses have different processing times. Here we measured the perceived timing of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) relative to tactile, visual and auditory stimuli. Simple reaction times for perceived head movement (438 ± 49 ms) were significantly longer than to touches (245 ± 14 ms), lights (220 ± 13 ms), or sounds (197 ± 13 ms). Temporal order and simultaneity judgments both indicated that GVS had to occur about 160 ms before other stimuli to be perceived as simultaneous with… Expand

Persistent perceptual delay for head movement onset relative to auditory stimuli of different duration and rise times
The perception of simultaneity between auditory and vestibular information is crucially important for maintaining a coherent representation of the acoustic environment whenever the head moves. Yet,… Expand
Persistent perceptual delay for head movement onset relative to auditory stimuli of different durations and rise times
TLDR
The persistent lead time required for vestibular stimulation provides further evidence that the perceptual latency of vestibul stimulation is greater than the other senses. Expand
Temporal binding of auditory and rotational stimuli
TLDR
Values are significantly lower than those previously reported for stimulus pairs involving electrically evoked vestibular stimulus and are more consistent with timing relationships between pairs of non-vestibular stimuli. Expand
Gain and phase of perceived virtual rotation evoked by electrical vestibular stimuli.
TLDR
These estimated gain and phase spectra for vestibular perception are a first step toward generating well-controlled virtual vestibULAR percepts, an endeavor that may reveal the usefulness of GVS in the areas of clinical assessment, neuroprosthetics, and virtual reality. Expand
Velocity influences the relative contributions of visual and vestibular cues to self-acceleration
TLDR
The hypothesis that velocity of optic flow can alter the relative contribution of visual and vestibular cues to the detection of self-acceleration is supported. Expand
Vestibular perception is slow: a review.
TLDR
A recent and growing body of evidence indicates that the perceived onset of vestibular stimulation is slow compared to the other senses, such that Vestibular stimuli need to be presented prior to other sensory stimuli in order to be perceived synchronously. Expand
Temporal processing of active and passive head movement
TLDR
The unexpected additional delay in processing the timing of an active head movement is compatible with the suppression hypothesis and is discussed in relation to suppression of vestibular signals during self-generated head movement. Expand
Effect of timing delay between visual and vestibular stimuli on heading perception.
TLDR
The amount of bias varied between subjects the effect of delay was similar, and the mean bias was much diminished with temporal misalignments of ±500 ms, and there was no longer any visual influence on the inertial heading when the visual stimulus was delayed by 1,000 ms or more. Expand
Perceived timing of a postural perturbation
TLDR
The additional lead times for detecting perturbation onset constrain possible fall detection and alert systems that have been proposed to inform a user to prevent falls and may also help explain the increased likelihood for fall incidence in the elderly. Expand

TLDR
It is demonstrated that perception of vestibular stimuli depends on prior motion, which has important implications for understanding and quantifying Vestibular perception. Expand

Adaptation to audiotactile asynchrony
TLDR
The results showed that the minimal interval necessary to correctly resolve audiotactile temporal order was larger after Exposure to the desynchronized streams than after exposure to the synchronous streams, suggesting the existence of a mechanism to compensate for audiotactic asynchronies that results in a widening of the temporal window for multisensory integration. Expand
Simultaneity Constancy
TLDR
Almost complete compensation was found in all conditions tested, showing that these substantial but predictable variations in timing can be taken into account in creating simultaneity constancy. Expand
Audiotactile temporal order judgments.
TLDR
Relative spatial position seems to be a less important factor in determining performance for audiotactile TOJ than for other modality pairings (e.g., audiovisual and visuotactile). Expand
Effects of Vestibular Rotatory Accelerations on Covert Attentional Orienting in Vision and Touch
TLDR
The findings suggest that during passive rotatory head-body accelerations, covert attention is shifted toward the direction of rotation and thedirection of the fast phases of the VOR. Expand
The effect of exposure to asynchronous audio, visual, and tactile stimulus combinations on the perception of simultaneity
TLDR
It is suggested that the neural correlates of multisensory sound/light processing are resynchronised by a separate, more flexible simultaneity constancy mechanism than the light/touch or the sound/touch simultaneity processing systems. Expand
Simultaneity constancy: detecting events with touch and vision
TLDR
Reaction times to touches and lights on different parts of the body and the perceived subjective simultaneity (PSS) for various combinations were measured, suggesting multiple parallel simultaneity constancy mechanisms. Expand
Probing the human vestibular system with galvanic stimulation.
TLDR
The hypothesis that the otolithic component of the balance response originates from only the pars medialis of the utricular macula is proposed and a model that explains the observed balance responses is developed. Expand
Temporal-order judgments and reaction time for stimuli of different modalities
TLDR
Reaction times and the relative latency evaluated by the temporal-order-judgment method for two stimuli of different modalities (visual and auditory) were measured; in conflict with Rutschmann and Link's (1964) previous result, the auditory stimulus must be delayed to be perceived simultaneously with the visual one.

Perception of Temporal Order of Stimuli Differing in Sense Mode and Simple Reaction Time
Judgments of temporal order (method of constant stimuli) were obtained as a function of the delay between the onset of a visual and an auditory stimulus. Simple reaction times were also obtained to… Expand
Vestibular influence on human auditory space perception.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that vestibular information is used by central-nervous mechanisms generating a world-centered representation of auditory space in the perception of sound location during movements of the head and/or the whole body. Expand
