Overview

Behavioral experiments demonstrate gaze position and velocity shape self-motion perception, highlighting gaze dynamics' impact.

Key Points

  • Gaze-dependent errors in heading estimates indicate that eye movements significantly influence self-motion perception.
  • Increased horizontal gaze eccentricity and speed corresponded with systematic shifts in heading estimates during navigation tasks.
  • The Bayesian ideal observer model replicated observed errors, demonstrating the interaction between visual processing and oculomotor behavior.
  • Results underscore the importance of natural gaze strategies to mitigate biases during navigation and enhance spatial awareness.
