The video ocular counter-roll (vOCR): a clinical test to detect loss ofotolith-ocular function Conclusion vOCR can detect loss of otolith-ocular function without specifying the side of vestibular loss. Since vOCR is measured with a simple head tilt maneuver, it can be potentially used as a bedside clinical test in combination with video head impulse test. […]

2014 Newsletter
We had a spectacular year. Some highlights: We published major discoveries on dizziness and imbalance (Amir Kheradmand et al) and on dizziness and stroke (David Newman-Toker et al) which have also garnered considerable press, television/radio, and internet coverage. Our laboratory received a major research prize from the Koester Foundation in Zurich. [more …]

New article published in Current Biology
A major focus in neurobiology is how the brain adapts its motor behavior to changes in its internal and external environments [1, 2]. Much is known about adaptively optimizing the amplitude and direction of eye and limb movements, for example, but little is known about another essential form of learning, “set-point” adaptation. Set-point adaptation balances tonic activity so that reciprocally […]
New article published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
We maintain a stable perception of the visual world despite continuous movements of our eyes, head and body. Perception of upright is a key aspect of such orientation constancy. Here we investigated whether changes in upright perception during sustained head tilt were related to simultaneous changes in torsional position of the eyes. We used a […]
