The contribution of the visual scene to disambiguation of optic flow with vestibular signals

Acknowledgements Task • All experiments were carried out on a Stewart Platform. • All stimuli were 2 seconds in length and had a raised cosine velocity profile. • Subjects were given both forward and backward linear translations. Optic flow is generated by observer motion relative to stationary objects, by movement of objects relative to a stationary observer, and by a combination of these situations. In this project we investigate speed discriminations for forward and backward linear translations: • How do visual and vestibular cues disambiguate object motion and self–motion? • What role does the visual scene play in optimal cue combination?
