Walking without optic flow reduces subsequent vection

Abstract: This experiment investigated the effect of walking without optic flow on subsequent vection induction and strength. Two groups of participants walked for 5 min (either wearing Ganzfeld goggles or with normal vision) prior to exposure to a vection-inducing stimulus. We then measured the onset latency and strength of vection induced by a radially expanding pattern of optic flow. The results showed that walking without optic flow transiently yielded later vection onsets and reduced vection strength. We propose th… Show more

“…This should prime observers towards visual motion and increase the vection inducing potential of any subsequently presented optic flow. A recent study by Seno and colleagues [ 70 ] provides indirect support for this notion. They found that prior walking without optic flow transiently delayed the subsequent induction of vection from optic flow (compared to the vection induced after an equivalent period of walking with normal vision).…”

“…This indicates that some brain areas respond stronger in response to vection. Removal of optic flow in normal walking has been shown to reduce subsequent vection as well (Seno et al, 2015 ). It has also been argued that the most important contributor to vection is stimulus depth (Palmisano et al, 2015 ), indicating that perception of optic flow contributes to the genesis of vection.…”
