Abstract
We examined the effect of body posture upon visually induced perceptio n of self-motion (vection) with various angles of observer's tilt. The experiment indicated that the tilted body of observer could enhance p erceived strength of vertical vection, while there was no effect of bo dy tilt on horizontal vection. This result suggests that there is an i nteraction between the effects of visual and vestibular information on perception of self-motion.
