Abstract

Time series of the center of gravity were analysed to investigate the effect of visual distraction on posture control function. Visual distraction was created by rotating disk filled with geographical patterns. Specific fluctuation related to visual signal was observed. The role of visual sensory processing in posture control was discussed.
