summaryIn this presentation, I will discuss findings from neuroimaging, clinical neuroscience, and cognitive psychology that have redefined the role of the vestibular system. Traditionally associated with prereflective processes like balance and gaze stabilization, the vestibular system is now recognized as playing a broader role, extending to spatial cognition, body representation, and the fundamental aspects of the bodily self. I will demonstrate how vestibular functions shape our sense of self and explore how disruptions in these functions can have lasting effects on mental health.
