Viewpoint changes during locomotion: Their role in self-motion perception and motion sickness

在感觉冲突的情况下，对自我运动知觉和运动病的更好理解将对科学知识和理论做出重大贡献。我们的实验结果将有助于为老年人和从感觉丧失或损伤中恢复的人制定跌倒预防和康复计划。 鉴于现代环境的运动复杂性日益增加，该项目在仿真和虚拟现实环境、民用和军用运输，甚至太空旅行方面也有重要的实际应用。 在该项目期间，一名博士生将接受自我运动感知和运动病测量以及眼动和步态分析的培训。

An improved understanding of self-motion perception and motion sickness in situations of sensory conflict will contribute significantly to scientific knowledge and theory. The findings of our experiments will aid in the development of fall-prevention and rehabilitation programs for the elderly and people recovering from sensory loss or impairment. Given the increasing motion complexity of modern environments, this project also has important practical applications for simulation and virtual reality environments, civil and military transportation, and even space travel. During the project a PhD student will be trained in measurement of self-motion perception and motion sickness, as well as eye-movement and gait analysis.
