The details of the receptor mechanism are not yet fully understood
for any sensory system. However, sufficient data are available (for
the vestibular system and for other systems) to permit meaningful
tracking of the sensory messages through the nervous system and via
conscious experience. The reception, process ing, storage and
output of information in man and other animals, as done by means of
receptors, neurons, secretory cells and muscle fibers, are
collectively referred to as mind. Sensory physiologists tend to
disbelieve in extrasensory perception. Sensory physiology in
general is an area upon which different sciences and methods
converge. Anatomists, physiologists, psychologists, physicists,
chemists, and engineers have made important contributions to
sensory physiology. What is special about vestibular physiology is
the fact that many research workers are clinicians, living under
the constant pressure of their patient's demands. This is a
disadvantage when it comes to writing handbooks, but an advantage
for the pa tient, since research is guided by clinical practice and
can be quickly applied. Modern methods, such as recording from
single nerve units and the correlation of electrophysiological and
psychophysical data, have greatly contributed to our knowledge, yet
the study of lesions is still important, especially in the
vestibular field."
