Although often used in spatial disorientation training for pilots and laboratory studies on motion sickness, little is known about the minimum required rotation rate to produce the illusion. OBJECTIVE: This study determined the perception threshold associated with the Coriolis illusion. METHODS: Nineteen participants performed a standardized pitching head movement during continuous whole-body yaw rotation at rates varying between 5 to 50 deg\/s. The participants reported their motion sensation in relation to three hypothesized perception thresholds: 1) a sense of undefined self-motion, 2) a sense of rotation, and 3) a sense of rotation and its direction (i.e., the factual Coriolis illusion). The corresponding thresholds were estimated from curves fitted by a generalized linear model. RESULTS: On average threshold 1 was significantly lower (8 deg\/s) than thresholds 2 and 3. The latter thresholds did not differ from each other and their pooled value was 10 deg\/s. CONCLUSIONS: The Coriolis illusion is perceived at yaw rates exceeding 10 deg\/s using a pitching head movement with 40 deg amplitude and 55 deg\/s peak velocity. Model analysis shows that this corresponds to an internal rotation vector of 6 deg\/s. With this vector the Coriolis perception threshold can be predicted for any other head movement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ves-210073","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,17]],"date-time":"2021-12-17T12:17:50Z","timestamp":1639743470000},"page":"317-324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The perception threshold of the vestibular Coriolis illusion"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Mark M.J.","family":"Houben","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arjan J.H.","family":"Meskers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jelte E.","family":"Bos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Behavioural and Movement Sciences, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric L.","family":"Groen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TNO, Soesterberg, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref2","first-page":"14","article-title":"Moving in a Moving World: A Review on Vestibular Motion Sickness Front","volume":"7","author":"Bertolini","year":"2016","journal-title":"Neurol"},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref3","unstructured":"Bles W. , de Graaf B. and Bos J.E. , Vestibular examination in pilots susceptible to motion sickness, in: The Clinical Basis for Aeromedical Decision Making, AGARD Conference Proceedings 553 (1994)."},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.3233\/VES-190656","article-title":"Tolerable acclimation to the cross-coupled illusion through a 10-day, incremental, personalized protocol","volume":"29","author":"Bretl","year":"2019","journal-title":"J Vestib Res"},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"22","DOI":"10.1038\/s41526-020-00112-w","article-title":"Improved feasibility of astronaut short-radius artificial gravity through a 50-day incremental, personalized, vestibular acclimation protocol","volume":"6","author":"Bretl","year":"2020","journal-title":"npj Microgravity"},{"issue":"12","key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2764","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00091.2013","article-title":"Whole body motion detection tasks can yield much lower thresholds than direction-recognition tasks: implications for the role of vibration","volume":"110","author":"Chaudhuri","year":"2013","journal-title":"Journal of Neurophysiology"},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"191","DOI":"10.3233\/VES-2003-12405","article-title":"Lack of gender differences in motion sickness induced by vestibular Coriolis cross-coupling","volume":"12","author":"Cheung","year":"2003","journal-title":"J of Vest Res"},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"171","DOI":"10.3233\/VES-2007-17403","article-title":"Threshold-based vestibular adaptation to cross-coupled canal stimulation","volume":"17","author":"Cheung","year":"2007","journal-title":"J of Vest Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1275","DOI":"10.1152\/jn.00322.2016","article-title":"Perception of combined translation and rotation in the horizontal plane in humans","volume":"116","author":"Crane","year":"2016","journal-title":"J Neurophysiol"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref12","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"173","DOI":"10.1007\/s00221-003-1479-4","article-title":"The relation of motion sickness to the spatial-temporal properties of velocity storage","volume":"151","author":"Dai","year":"2003","journal-title":"Exp Brain Res"},{"key":"10.3233\/VES-210073_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"707","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2019.00707","article-title":"Fornos, J.P.
