In response to Alsmith’s inspiring theoretical suggestions, we have argued that there is a true vestibular sense, with distinct and important properties. We believe and agree with Alsmith that better understanding its contribution to various aspects of experiential life is crucial and that this might also facilitate taxonomic and structural approaches. Alsmith’s response exemplifies, in our view, the mutual benefit of an interdisciplinary dialogue, as his thorough analysis of current experimental data, paired with new theoretical considerations, leads to concrete experimental suggestions, which might reshape theoretical considerations depending on the potential results. In our reply we have pointed out some possible methodological difficulties, some possible ways to overcome these, and some new directions such experimental work could take. In particular, we are optimistic that analyzing vestibular processing in the brain using electrophysiological approaches will provide in the near future important new data about the vestibular contribution to the sense of self. We hope that our reply will help foster interdisciplinary collaborations that further investigate the role of the vestibular system in shaping our mind.
