Title:
The Effect of Long Duration Hypogravity on the Perception of Self-Motion

Apr 28, 2016 - Mar 31, 2023
Description:
Perception of Self-Motion In Space. The Perception of Self-Motion (POSM) project investigates the amplitude of motion evoked by a given pattern of optic flow by measuring how far a participant needs to “travel” in a simulated environment to reach a previously viewed target. Motion profiles will be fit by a model we have developed to describe visually induced motion on earth: our “leaky spatial integrator” model of vection.
Perceived tilt will be measured by having subjects indicate their perceived posture relative to the remembered external environment
(i.e., the ISS). Control experiments will measure perceived distance to dissociate the interpretation of perceived motion from errors in
perceived distance.
Organization:
Canadian Space Agency
Expected Results:
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
