Abstract
In order to obtain a clear absolute perception of the visual surround during head movements, the visual information aquired in retinotopic coordinates should be transformed into absolute coordinates by taking into account head movement. The aim of this paper is to show how an estimate of head absolute velocity is made available in the vestibular nuclei (VN) from their vestibular and visual inputs. An attempt is also made to link the output of VN to reflex eye movements, self-motion sensation, and visual perception.
