Скачать или смотреть Studying vection, an interesting optical illusion, with David Saint-Jacques

Canadian Space Agency astronaut David Saint-Jacques explains how a Canadian experiment is using virtual reality to take a closer look at an optical illusion known as vection. The term “vection” refers to the mistaken feeling of self-movement, triggered by seeing something else moving. The study, led by researchers from York University’s Centre for Vision Research, is examining whether astronauts’ perception of their motion and their surroundings is affected by weightlessness.
