It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

The perception of self‐motion is crucial for navigation, spatial orientation and motor control.
In particular, estimation of one's direction of translation, or heading, relies heavily on …

Self-motion through an environment involves a composite of signals such as visual and
vestibular cues. Building upon previous results showing that visual and vestibular signals …

This project investigated the ways in which visual cues and bodily cues from self-motion are
combined in spatial navigation. Participants completed a homing task in an immersive virtual …

Walking has always been considered as the gold standard for navigation in Virtual Reality
research. Though full rotation is no longer a technical challenge, physical translation is still …

When walking through space, both dynamic visual information (optic flow) and body-based
information (proprioceptive and vestibular) jointly specify the magnitude of distance …

The tendency to underestimate egocentric distances in immersive virtual environments
(VEs) is not well understood. However, previous research (AR Richardson & D. Waller …

Virtual reality has become a popular means to study human behavior in a wide range of
settings, including the role of pedestrians in traffic research. To understand distance …

Do locomotor aftereffects depend specifically on visual feedback? In 7 experiments, 116
college students were tested, with closed eyes, at stationary running or at walking to a …

Optic flow fields provide rich information about the observer's self-motion. Besides
estimation of the direction of self-motion human observers are also able to discriminate the …
