Research

The vestibular system not only gives us our sense of balance and coordinates head and eye-movement, it also plays a role in so-called "higher vestibular functions" that comprise spatial cognition and body awareness. Nora's research in the Brain, Body and Self Laboratory focuses on the contribution of vestibular information to body awareness and ownership using behavioral methods, vestibular stimulation, and functional magnetic resonance imaging.
