An attempt at correlating visuomotor-induced tilt aftereffect and ocular cyclotorsion.

Abstract

Subjects were exposed to an optical rotation of visual reafferences from hand movements. This is known to produce visuomotor adaptation. An experiment is reported where it also induced a perceptual aftereffect measured as a displacement of the apparent vertical and as an ocular cyclotorsion, both in the direction of the optical rotation. No correlation could be found between the two phenomena which can be considered as independent adaptive responses to the visuomotor conflict.
