Abstract
In this paper, the effects of stimulus eccentricity and luminance on linear vection (LV) were examined with healthy young subjects. Five kinds of blue sine-wave patterns with different spatial frequencies (0.023, 0.037, 0.057, 0.090, 0.141 cycle/deg) were used, and six luminance conditions were modulated respectively of the central and peripheral vision field. The results show that LV is affected by high luminance in central vision field when the spatial frequency is from 0.037 to 0.057 cycle/deg while it does not depend on peripheral vision luminance in any spatial frequencies used in this study.
