Accurate and efficient control of self-motion is an important requirement for our daily
behavior. Visual feedback about self-motion is provided by optic flow. Optic flow can be used …

The use of driving simulation for vehicle design and driver perception studies is expanding
rapidly. This is largely because simulation saves engineering time and costs, and can be …

Gordon Lynn Walls, a comparative anatomist, observed,“If asked what aspect of vision
means the most to them, a watchmaker may answer 'acuity,'a night flier 'sensitivity,'and an …

Infants master crawling and walking in an environment filled with varied and unfamiliar
surfaces. At the same time, infants' bodies and skills continually change. The changing …

Neurons in the dorsal region of the medial superior temporal area (MSTd) have previously
been shown to respond to the expanding radial motion that occurs as an observer moves …

In this target article we question the assumption that perception is divided into separate
domains of vision, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. We review implications of this …

Translation of an observer through a static environment generates a pattern of optical flow
that specifies the direction of self-motion, but the retinal flow pattern is confounded by pursuit …

We examine the structure of the visual motion projected on the retina during natural
locomotion in real world environments. Bipedal gait generates a complex, rhythmic pattern …

WHEN a person walks through a rigid environment while holding eyes and head fixed, the
pattern of retinal motion flows radially away from a point, the focus of expansion (Fig. la) 1, 2 …

Three experiments were performed to examine the role that central and peripheral vision
play in the perception of the direction of translational self-motion, or heading, from optical …
