Line-bisecting performance in highly skilled athletes: Does preponderance of rightward error reflect unique cortical organization and functioning?

abstract：:The present study evaluated the capacity to compare retinal and vestibular signals in a heterosensorial matching task. In the first experiment, subjects evaluated the magnitude of passive whole-body rotations in relation to the eccentricity of a visual target briefly presented before rotation. Such a task elicits mult...
