Influence of head or trunk oscillations on visually induced self-motion perception in humans.
The influence of concurrent head or trunk movements on optokinetically induced self-motion perception has been investigated by measuring circularvection (CV) latencies. Active head as well as passive trunk oscillation cause an increase in circularvection latency of about 50% as compared to latencies with the head and trunk stationary during full field optokinetic stimulation. The results point towards an intersensory inhibition of self-motion perception.
