A shared neural integrator for human posture control
Abstract
Control of standing posture requires fusion of multiple inputs including visual, vestibular, somatosensory, and other sensors, each having distinct dynamics. We propose that postural control also entails a shared neural integrator. To test this theory, we perturbed standing subjects with classic sensory stimuli (optokinetic and galvanic vestibular stimulation) and found that our proposed shared filter reproduces the dynamics of subjects’ postural responses.
