- W2012053994 abstract "It was Erasmus Darwin (1731–1802), the grandfather of Charles Darwin, who first wrote about visual vertigo in his Zoonomia, or, The Laws of Organic Life in 1794: ‘many people, when they arrive at 50 or 60 years of age, are affected with slight vertigo; which is generally but wrongly ascribed to indigestion, but in reality arises from a beginning defect of their sight … these people do not see objects so distinctly as formerly, and by exerting their eyes more than usual they perceive the apparent motions of objects, and confound them with the real motions of them; and therefore cannot accurately balance themselves so as easily to preserve their perpendicularity by them’. Historically, it is remarkable that this description of visual vertigo and its consequences for postural balance date back to a time when vestibular function was not even understood, nearly a century before the publication of Mach's (1875) Fundamentals of the Theory of Motion Perception (Brandt, 1991). Darwin's Zoonomia is a mine of information on early concepts of sensorimotor control of eye movements and multisensory interactions, for example his understanding of height vertigo, which is still appealing: ‘Anyone, who stands alone on the top of a high tower, if he has not been accustomed to balance himself by objects placed at such distances and with such inclinations, begins to stagger, and endeavours to recover himself by his muscular feelings. During this time the apparent motion of objects at a distance below him is very great and the impressions of this apparent motion continue a little time after he has experienced them; and he is persuaded to incline the contrary way to counteract their effects; and either immediately falls, or applying his hands to the building, uses his muscular feeling to preserve his perpendicular attitude, contrary to the erroneous …" @default.
