[MOTION AFTEREFFECT AS A UNIVERSAL PHENOMENON FOR SENSORY SYSTEMS INVOLVED IN SPATIAL ORIENTATION. III. AFTEREFFECT ARISING AFTER ADAPTATION TO MOTION IN SOMATOSENSORY AND VESTIBULAR SYSTEMS].

Abstract

Motion aftereffect can be regarded as a consequence of self-motion illusions and lag effect of the sensory performance. Numerous experimental facts provide evidence of common mechanisms of motion aftereffect in various modalities based on conception of motion detectors. At present here are serious rea- sons to suppose that motion aftereffect is a characteristic feature of all sensory systems involved in spatial orientation, adaptation to motion in one sensory system results in a change of performance of another one and that such adaptation has an important adjusting significance for orientation of a moving organism. This review deals with argumentation of these conceptions.
