Abstract
A multitude of sensory signals and perceptual processes are involved in the control of human walking. In return, also the human walking
behaviour has a profound effect on the way we
perceive the world. To investigate the interaction
between multisensory perception and locomotion
we constructed different locomotion environments
containing a treadmill and some visualization. We
focus here on the perception of visual motion and
the interaction with walking speed. In several
studies we found that motion perception is increased
for high visual speeds and decreased for low
visual speeds. The results will be discussed in terms
of multisensory integration.
