    Both radial and lamellar optic flow patterns in the central visual field effectively influence postural sway and spatial orientation. This study demonstrates their impact on balance control, enhancing our understanding of visual-vestibular interactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Visual perception
    • Human postural control
    • Spatial orientation

    Background:

    • Central visual field stimulation with radial flow induces self-motion perception.
    • Previous studies found no effect of radial or lamellar flow on postural stability in the central visual field.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effects of lamellar and radial optic flow on postural stability.
    • To determine if central visual field stimulation impacts spatial orientation.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants observed binocularly simulated motion (radial and lamellar flow) through a limited 15-degree field of view.
    • Display velocity varied using sums of sine functions at prime frequencies.
    • Postural sway was analyzed using frequency analysis to measure perceived spatial orientation.

    Main Results:

    • Increased postural sway was observed at simulated motion frequencies for both lamellar and radial flow.
    • Both optic flow patterns effectively influenced postural sway when stimulation was restricted to the central visual field.

    Conclusions:

    • Radial and lamellar optic flow are effective in determining spatial orientation.
    • Central visual field stimulation plays a crucial role in optic flow-induced postural control.
