On specification and the sensesT A Stoffregen
Division of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Behav Brain Sci 24:195-213; discussion 213-61. 2001..However, it also presents a challenge to much of the ecological approach to perception and action, which has accepted the assumption of separate senses...- Body sway at sea for two visual tasks and three stance widthsThomas A Stoffregen
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, 1900 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Aviat Space Environ Med 80:1039-43. 2009.... - Stance width and angle at sea: effects of sea state and body orientationThomas A Stoffregen
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Aviat Space Environ Med 80:845-9. 2009..Ship motion mandates changes in the control of stance, but there have been no direct assessments of how stance width and angle are controlled at sea. We predicted that participants would adopt a wider stance at sea... 
Coupling of head and body movement with motion of the audible environmentThomas A Stoffregen
School of Kinesiology, Cooke Hall, University of Minnesita, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA

School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA
Hum Factors 50:322-31. 2008.... - Postural stabilization of perceptual but not cognitive performanceThomas A Stoffregen
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
J Mot Behav 39:126-38. 2007..The results underscore the need for researchers to differentiate between suprapostural tasks that require perceptual contact with the environment and those that do not... - Motion sickness, console video games, and head-mounted displaysOmar Merhi
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55455, USA
Hum Factors 49:920-34. 2007..We evaluated the nauseogenic properties of commercial console video games (i.e., games that are sold to the public) when presented through a head-mounted display... - Motion sickness preceded by unstable displacements of the center of pressureCedrick T Bonnet
University of Minnesota, School of Kinesiology, 1900 University Avenue SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, United States
Hum Mov Sci 25:800-20. 2006..However, at every point during exposure sway was greater for participants who became motion sick. The results reveal that motion sickness is preceded by instabilities in displacements of the center of pressure... - Voluntary and involuntary postural responses to imposed optic flowThomas A Stoffregen
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Motor Control 10:24-33. 2006..This conclusion motivates a search for non-perceptual factors that may influence the degree to which body sway is coupled to imposed optic flow... - Postural sway and the frequency of horizontal eye movementsThomas A Stoffregen
Human Factors Research Laboratory, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN 55414, USA
Motor Control 11:86-102. 2007..The results are consistent with the thesis of a functional integration of postural control with visual performance... - Motion sickness, body movement, and claustrophobia during passive restraintElise Faugloire
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, 1900 University Ave SE, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Exp Brain Res 177:520-32. 2007..The results are consistent with the postural instability theory of motion sickness. We discuss the possible relation between claustrophobia symptoms, postural movements and motion sickness incidence... - Postural instability and motion sickness in a virtual moving roomSébastien J Villard
School of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA
Hum Factors 50:332-45. 2008..We examined motion sickness in an oscillating virtual environment presented via a video projector system... - Postural activity and visual vigilance performance during rough seasYawen Yu
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Aviat Space Environ Med 81:843-9. 2010..Few studies have evaluated the influence of sea state on visual performance. Effects of rough seas on visual vigilance performance, subjective mental workload, and the kinematics of postural control have not been demonstrated... - Interpersonal postural coordination on rigid and non-rigid surfacesThomas A Stoffregen
Dept of Kinesiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Motor Control 13:471-83. 2009..We consider several possible interpretations of these results... - Postural sway during dual tasks in young and elderly adultsJanina M Prado
Neuroscience Program and School of Physical Education and Sport, University of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Gerontology 53:274-81. 2007..Previous studies have shown that healthy young adults are able to decrease their standing postural sway when an additional postural visual task, such as reading, is performed... - Exploring coordination dynamics of the postural system with real-time visual feedbackElise Faugloire
Research Center in Sport Sciences, UFR STAPS, University of Paris Sud XI, Batiment 335, 91405 Orsay, France
Neurosci Lett 374:136-41. 2005..Bootsma, T.A. Stoffregen, Dynamics of human postural transitions, J. Exp. Psychol. Hum. Percept. Perform. 28 (1999) 499-514].

Laboratoire Efficience et Déficience Motrices, Université Montpellier I and Institut Universitaire de France, Paris, France
J Mot Behav 39:326-36. 2007..The main reason is that all perturbations are relative and depend on appropriate frames of reference for perception and action. Arguments about empirical or theoretical unification of perturbed and unperturbed stance are premature... - Dynamics of learning new postural patterns: influence on preexisting spontaneous behaviorsElise Faugloire
Research Center in Sport Sciences, University of Paris Sud XI, Orsay, France
J Mot Behav 38:299-312. 2006..Initial stability did, however, influence the rate and type of modification of spontaneous patterns. The authors discuss the results in relation to conclusions drawn from bimanual studies... - Postural coordination in looking and tracking tasksOlivier Oullier

Hum Mov Sci 21:147-67. 2002..Overall, the dynamics of hip-ankle coordination were qualitatively similar during the looking and tracking tasks.
