• Affects body tilt percept (SBT)Young et al. (1975)
• Affects subjective visual vertical (SVV)
Dichgans et al. (1972, 1974)
• Both effects increase at larger tilts
Example of roll-optokinetic stimulus (OKS)
Optokinetic (roll) stimulation (OKS)
This study
Combined measurements of these effects
Is there dissociation between optokinetic effects on SBT and SVV?

Experiments
• Subjects (n=8) were roll-tilted in darkness to various tilt angles (-135 to 135°)
• Upon arrival, an optokinetic drum was turned on (Ø 76°, rotation velocity: -35, 0 or +35 °/s)

Conclusions
• In absence of optokinetic stimulation, subjects have veridical SBT, whereas SVV is biased at tilts > 60°
• Presence of optokinetic stimulus affects both SBT and SVV:• Tilt-reducing optokinetic stimulus affects SBT and
SVV equally• Tilt-increasing optokinetic stimulus affects SVV more
severely than SBT
• The dissociation between SBT and SVV in the tilt-increasing condition is further evidence for the notion that these percepts are based on different computational principles
