CSA SMUG - SELF-MOTION UNDER GRAVITY When humans move from the normal constant one gravity environment found on earth a range of different perceptual systems must operate under unusual conditions resulting the systematic errors in fundamental measures including the perception of self-motion. Understanding how humans integrate cues to their self-motion under such circumstances is critical for humans to operate safely and effectively off earth. In collaboration with German partners and the DLR, the CSASMUG project is building a model of how humans integrate gravity and other cues to estimate their self-motion and is developing countermeasures and display technology based on this model.
