The impact of visual patterns on human locomotion

视觉错觉被认为影响感知，但不影响行动（米尔纳和古德尔，2008年）。然而，研究的大多数动作涉及弹道手运动和抓握，并且围绕视觉感知系统和动作视觉系统相互作用的程度和情况的问题仍然存在很多争论（Kopiske等人，2016）。此外，几乎没有任何关于视觉错觉是否影响行走的信息。第一个证据表明，地板图案的某些方面（例如地板图案取向和频率间隔）可以影响运动特征，包括侧向转向（Leonards等人，2015）和步行速度（Ludwig等人，2018年）。本研究的目的是调查不同地板/墙壁模式配置对运动的影响，包括成人参与者相对于模式的脚放置、步行速度、步态调节和侧向转向。

Visual illusions are thought to affect perception but not action (Milner & Goodale, 2008). However, most actions studied concern ballistic hand movements and grasping, and there remains much debate around the question of how much and under which circumstances the visual perception system and the vision for action system interact (Kopiske et al., 2016). Furthermore, hardly anything is known about whether visual illusions impact walking. First evidence suggests that certain aspects of floor patterns (such as floor pattern orientation and frequency spacing) can influence locomotion characteristics, including lateral veer (Leonards et al., 2015) and walking speed (Ludwig et al., 2018). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of different floor/wall pattern configurations on locomotion, including foot placement relative to the patterns, walking speed, regulation of gait and lateral veer in adult participants.
