  1. Given are the absolute values of the mechanical sensitivity (s) in mdeg/deg.s−1 and the radius of curvature (R) in mm, calculated by Ariadne for the anterior (ASD), posterior (PSD) and lateral (LSD) semicircular ducts, as well as the relative contribution of each duct as a percentage of the total of the three (100%). Reported errors as in Table 1. The values of R are not affected by homogeneous dilation and contraction of the reconstructions.
