Given are the coefficient values of the torsion pendulum matrices M, C, K, and vector g, as well as the values of the transfer factor ε for volume displacement to cilia deflection, as calculated by Ariadne for the anterior (ASD), posterior (PSD) and lateral (LSD) semicircular ducts, as well as for the shared common crus (cc) and anterior utricle (uc). Reported errors reflect how dilating or contracting the full surface of the reconstructed semicircular duct systems by the maximum inter-observer error would affect the results. The values of g values are not affected by homogeneous dilation and contraction of the reconstructions.
