AB The  human  vestibular  system  estimates  body  position  and  motion.  Motion  inputs  to  the  vestibular  system  include  the  inner  ear  signals  (“vestibular”  in  Fig.  1.1),  as  well  as  position  sensation,  (“proprioception”)  visual  signals,  and  intended  movement  (“motor  commands”).  These  redundant  inputs  are  integrated  by  the  central  processor,  the  “vestibular  nuclear  complex,”  which  generates  motor  commands  to  drive  the  eyes  and  body.  The  system  is  normally  very  accurate.  To  maintain  accuracy,  the  vestibular  system  is  monitored  and  calibrated  by  the  cerebellum.
