Overview

Randomized trial reveals how actions influence spatial perception and internal predictions in humans, suggesting a dynamic relationship.

Key Points

  • The research investigates how actions serve as experiments that test and recalibrate our understanding of space and time perception.
  • Analysis of postsaccadic errors across approximately 100,000 daily saccades.
  • Manipulation of optic-flow speed during locomotion to assess changes in perceived distance and depth.
  • Examination of temporal reproduction to evaluate serial dependencies within action.
  • Postsaccadic errors cause shifts in visual localization, indicating a dependency between actions and perception.
  • Manipulated optic-flow speeds altered perceived depth, showing that movement affects spatial judgment.
  • Temporal reproduction displayed serial dependence in actions but limited influence on visual time perception.
