ABSTRACT

The visual field during locomotion expands radially from a point of focus on the line of locomotion in a rule-based manner (Gibson, 1954). The dynamic coupling between the optic flow and the generation of movements makes it possible to adapt to varying environmental conditions. A number of studies have shown how the information on the optic flow is used to generate adaptive behaviors (de Rugy et al., 2002; Warren et al., 2001). However, it is not clear whether self-motion in the environment affects visual perception.
