The outcomes of this study have the potential to contribute significantly to advancements in cognitive science, user interface design, and therapeutic methodologies. +This study aims to explore the interplay between movement and visual motion perception in humans, inspired by recent findings in rodent studies that suggest a significant enhancement in visual neural signals related to motion during physical activity. We propose a visual psychophysics study. Specifically, through visual illusions, we propose to investigate whether movement can induce stronger neural signaling in humans, thus affecting their perception of visual illusions. ### Objectives - To analyze the effects of movement on visual perception. - To understand the role of visual illusions in perceiving motion. -- To contribute to the development of more intuitive user interfaces and effective therapeutic strategies. ## Participation -We are currently recruiting participants for our study!
