Why the semicircular canals are not stimulated by linear accelerations - Goyens J, Aerts P.

Head accelerations are sensed by the vestibular system in the inner ear. Linear accelerations stimulate the otolith organs, while the semicircular canals sense angular accelerations. Fluid-Structure Interaction models of the cupula sensor (simulated with F...
