Figure 5. — Integration of visual and nonvisual self-motion signals. (a) Perceptual estimates of heading are more precise when both visual and nonvisual self-motion signals are present compared to unisensory conditions, resulting in steeper psychometric curves (red trace versus green and blue traces). (Illustration of results from [133]. (b) The integration of visual and nonvisual signals for estimating self-motion is largely consistent with Bayesian cue integration. Illustrated here for heading direction, the mean of the multisensory estimate (red trace) is a weighted sum of unisensory estimates from visual (green trace) and vestibular (blue trace) cues, with cue weights proportional to their reliability. The uncertainty of the multisensory estimate is reduced compared to unisensory estimates.
