How does an active observer deal with a continuously changing retinal image? Does the brain gradually build up a stable allocentric representation of space? Is an egocentric representation updated whenever one moves? Is the image on the retina first segregated into components that are the result of self-movement and ones that are not? We hypothesise that the answer depends on the temporal and action requirements of the task. This collaborative project aims to test this hypothesis through use of a diverse series of tasks that present a range of challenges to the moving observer. To do so, we will combine complementary expertise from psychology, movement sciences, and computing from Germany, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and bring together researchers who represent a range of theoretical perspectives. We will make use of various innovative experimental paradigms that exploit recent technological advances such as virtual reality combined with simultaneous motion tracking. We will extend our methods for analysing large data-sets generated by such paradigms. Understanding where and how different mechanisms of perceptual stability play a role will also inform industry as well as medicine about conditions preventing disorientation or nausea when moving through real or virtual environments.

一个积极的观察者如何处理不断变化的视网膜图像？大脑会逐渐建立一个稳定的非中心空间表征吗？当一个人移动时，以自我为中心的表征是否会更新？视网膜上的图像是否首先被分成两部分，一部分是自我运动的结果，另一部分不是？我们假设答案取决于任务的时间和行动要求。这个合作项目旨在通过使用一系列不同的任务来测试这一假设，这些任务向移动的观察者提出了一系列挑战。为此，我们将结合来自德国、荷兰和英国的心理学、运动科学和计算机的互补专业知识，并将代表一系列理论观点的研究人员聚集在一起。我们将利用各种创新的实验范式，利用最新的技术进步，如虚拟现实与同步运动跟踪相结合。我们将扩展我们的方法来分析由这些范例产生的大型数据集。了解感知稳定性的不同机制在哪里以及如何发挥作用，也将为工业界和医学界提供有关在真实或虚拟环境中移动时防止迷失方向或恶心的条件的信息。
