Selective Effects

We examined the effect of body posture upon visually induced perception of self-motion (vection) with various angles of observer's tilt. The experiment indicated that the tilted body of observer could enhance perceived strength of vertical vection, while there was no effect of body tilt on horizontal vection. This result suggests that there is an interaction between the effects of visual and vestibular information on perception of self-motion.

Vestibular Pathways

As we go about our everyday activities, our brain computes accurate estimates of both our motion relative to the world, and of our orientation relative to gravity. Essential to this computation is the information provided by the vestibular system; it detects the rotational velocity and linear acceleration of our heads relative to space, making a fundamental contribution to our perception of self-motion and spatial orientation. Additionally, in everyday life, our perception of self-motion depends on the integration of both vestibular and nonvestibular cues, including visual and proprioceptive information. Furthermore, the integration of motor-related information is also required for perceptual stability, so that the brain can distinguish whether the experienced sensory inflow was a result of active self-motion through the world or if instead self-motion that was externally generated. To date, understanding how the brain encodes and integrates sensory cues with motor signals for the perception of self-motion during natural behaviors remains a major goal in neuroscience. Recent experiments have (i) provided new insights into the neural code used to represent sensory information in vestibular pathways, (ii) established that vestibular pathways are inherently multimodal at the earliest stages of processing, and (iii) revealed that self-motion information processing is adjusted to meet the needs of specific tasks. Our current level of understanding of how the brain integrates sensory information and motor-related signals to encode self-motion and ensure perceptual stability during everyday activities is reviewed.

Moving Pattern

A linear moving-dot pattern was presented to observers to induce self-motion. A stimulating circular area of more than 28.1 deg diameter induced self-motion perfectly, and even areas ranging from 5.7 deg to 11.4 deg diameter were able to elicit self-motion (Kano, 1995 Perception24 Supplement, 108). In the present study the interactive effects of the size of the stimulating area and the speed of the moving pattern on the perception of self-motion were examined. Random-dot patterns were moved downward in a circular area on a screen in a dark room. The diameters of the circular area were 5.7, 11.4, 22.6, and 43.6 deg. The speeds of the dot pattern were 9.49, 18.85, 28.07, 36.73, and 45.08 deg s−1. Observers were twenty-six students of Keio University. When the size of the area became larger and the dot pattern moved faster, self-motion was generally induced with shorter latencies. However, a significant interaction was found between size and speed; for the smallest area (5.7 deg diameter circle) latency was shorter at the lower speeds (9.49 to 28.07 deg s−1) than at the higher speeds (36.73 and 45.08 deg s −1). For the 11.4 deg diameter circle speed had no effect on latency. For the 22.6 deg diameter circle, however, latency decreased with increasing speed. For the 43.6 deg diameter circle latency was very short and constant under the four higher speeds, but remained considerably longer at the lowest speed. The results show that the effect of speed depends on the size of the stimulating area. When the size was large enough, speed had little effect on the latency of self-motion.
