Visual additions were validated against the Borah et al (1978) Kalman filter simulation results and validation data sets (Earth vertical constant velocity rotation in the light, somatogravic illusion in the light, and linear and circular vection). The model predicts that circular vection should have two dynamic components, and the recent finding of Tokumaru et al (1998) that visual cues influence somatogravic illusion in ways not accounted for by the Borah model. The model also correctly predicts both the direction of Coriolis illusion, and the magnitude of the resulting tilt illusion. It also predicts that the direction and mechanism of Pseudo-Coriolis illusion is fundamentally different from Coriolis, a prediction verified by means of a pilot experiment. Finally, the model accounts for the dynamics of astronaut post-flight tilt-gain and OTTR vertigos in ways not explained by previous static analyses (e.g. Merfeld, 2003).
