Table 1.

Predicted responses to experimental conditions, given the signal and sensor

Response expected?
Couette device Rotating cylinder Shaker flask
Signal/sensor Horizontal Vertical Horizontal Vertical Horizontal Vertical
Strains/cilia Yes Yes No No No No
Vorticity/statocysts Yes No Yes No No No
Acceleration/statocysts Maybe* Maybe* Maybe* Maybe* Yes Yes
