Visually Induced Self-Motion Sensation Adapts Rapidly to Left-Right Visual Reversal

After 1 to 3 hours of active movement while wearing vision-reversing goggles, 9 of 12 (stationary) human subjects viewing a moving stripe display experienced a self-rotation illusion in the same direction as seen stripe motion, rather than in the opposite (normal) direction. This result indicates th...

Description
Summary:After 1 to 3 hours of active movement while wearing vision-reversing goggles, 9 of 12 (stationary) human subjects viewing a moving stripe display experienced a self-rotation illusion in the same direction as seen stripe motion, rather than in the opposite (normal) direction. This result indicates that the neural pathways which process visual self-rotation cues can undergo rapid adaptive modification.
