Reply to comment by wi_voter in Researchers have discovered a new situation from the everyday environment where our crucial ability to perceive what is truly vertical is compromised: when our body pitches (body pitch) and moves at the same time (body motion) by giuliomagnifico

Thanks! TIL!

I added this edit if you didn't see it:

rereading it I believe by body pitch they mean the extent the person is leaning backwards so their head/upper body is posterior to the vertical axis. That would make sense since they used the dental chair to create "pitch" without movement.
