Bayesian Gravity Perception Simulator: Interactive Research Tool for Multisensory Integration

Published December 28, 2025 | Version 1.00

Software documentation Open

Interactive implementation of the theoretical framework presented in:

Meddouri, A. (2025). Can We Feel Weightless Without Leaving Earth?

A New Framework for Understanding and Controlling Weight Perception.

https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17806843

This simulator demonstrates Bayesian sensory integration principles

for gravity perception, allowing users to manipulate vestibular,

proprioceptive, and visual sensory weights in real-time.
