The Role of Head Movements and Signal Spectrum in an Auditory Front/Back Illusion

open access: yesi-Perception, 2012
We used a dynamic auditory spatial illusion to investigate the role of self-motion and acoustics in shaping our spatial percept of the environment. Using motion capture, we smoothly moved a sound source around listeners as a function of their own head ...

Motion Illusions as Environmental Enrichment for Zoo Animals: A Preliminary Investigation on Lions (Panthera leo)

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Investigating perceptual and cognitive abilities of zoo animals might help to improve their husbandry and enrich their daily life with new stimuli.

Directionless Vection: A New Illusory Self-Motion Perception

open access: yesi-Perception, 2012
We report a new visual illusion, “directionless vection.” When expanding and contracting optic flows are simultaneously presented in the same depth plane, observers can perceive illusory self-motion (vection) without direction.

Roles of the Retinotopic and Environmental Frames of Reference on Vection

open access: yesFrontiers in Virtual Reality, 2020
Humans perceive self-motion using multisensory information, while vision has a dominant role as is utilized in virtual reality (VR) technologies. Previous studies reported that visual motion presented in the lower visual field (LoVF) induces stronger ...

Generating Flight Illusions Using Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation in Virtual Reality Flight Simulations

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroergonomics, 2022
BackgroundVestibular flight illusions remain a significant source of concern for aviation training. Most fixed-based simulation training environments, including new virtual reality (VR) technology, lack the ability to recreate vestibular flight illusions

Illusory Motion Reproduced by Deep Neural Networks Trained for Prediction

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
The cerebral cortex predicts visual motion to adapt human behavior to surrounding objects moving in real time. Although the underlying mechanisms are still unknown, predictive coding is one of the leading theories.

When gravity is not where it should be: How perceived orientation affects visual self-motion processing.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
Human perception is based on expectations. We expect visual upright and gravity upright, sensed through vision, vestibular and other sensory systems, to agree.

Heading representations in primates are compressed by saccades

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Macaque higher visual areas MST and VIP encode heading direction based on self-motion stimuli. Here the authors show that, while making saccades, the heading direction decoded from the neural responses is compressed toward straight-ahead, and ...

Optic-flow selective cortical sensory regions associated with self-reported states of vection

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Optic flow is one of the most important visual cues to the estimation of self-motion. It has repeatedly been demonstrated that a cortical network including visual, multisensory and vestibular areas is implicated in processing optic flow; namely, visual ...

The effect of cognition on the visually-induced illusion of self-motion (vection)

open access: yesJournal of Vision, 2004
Stimuli depicting a natural scene can produce faster, stronger, and more convincing sensation of illusory selfmotion The results of the experiment revealed that a stimulus depicting a natural scene can produce faster, stronger, and more convincing sensation of illusory self-motion. Previous studies have typically used abstract stimuli to induce vection.
