What is somatogyral illusion?

The somatogyral illusion is a type of vestibular illusion that occurs when the body perceives motion that is not actually taking place. This often happens during rapid head movements or rotations, leading to a sensation of spinning or dizziness even when the body is stationary. It is primarily caused by the conflicting signals received from the vestibular system, proprioceptors, and visual inputs. This illusion can be experienced in various situations, such as during flight or in Virtual Reality environments.
