Conclusion

This particular investigation of the vestibulospinal reflex response has been made by one single individual recording his own very specific balancing response to gravity; as such the results require geophysicists (and astrophysicists) to confirm that they make sense and are not in conflict with what is presently known about how the gravitational field operates. 

When that first tentative confirmation is made, it should then be possible for Cognitive Psychologists to press ahead and make further progress in structuring similar experimental investigations with groups of individuals. Any advances in knowledge by this route will require Geophysicists to have confidence in the Psychologist's experiments, and will also require Geophysicists to have an input regarding how the experiments are structured to produce the required answers to any outstanding questions. 

The use of the human body as a tool for researching the structure of gravity does not come without serious drawbacks. Using the vestibular sensory system in this way requires experimenters to exclude, as far as possible, the subjective, frontal cortex part of the brain - otherwise the movements observed are likely to become 'ideo-motor,' rather than being derived from the reflex 'sensory-motor' response. The expectations of the experimenter, as well as the subject, need to be kept to a minimum to avoid bias: it is essential to know the difference between 'Delusion' and 'Reality'. Commonality of reaction across a group of individuals, each observed in isolation under strict experimental conditions, should be able to identify individual differences in sensory perception and yet give confidence in the overall results obtained by this approach.

 The initial findings of this investigation have hopefully demonstrated that there is great potential to expand our limited knowledge of gravity by following this cross-disciplinary route.
