Intermittent control and retinal optic flow when maintaining a curvilinear path.

ABSTRACT: The topic of how humans navigate using vision has been studied for decades. Research has identified the emergent patterns of retinal optic flow from gaze behavior may play an essential role in human curvilinear locomotion. However, the link towards control has been poorly understood. Lately, it has been shown that human locomotor behavior is corrective, formed from intermittent decisions and responses. A simulated virtual reality experiment was conducted where fourteen participants drove through a texture-rich simplistic road environment with left and right curve bends. The goal was to investigate how human intermittent lateral control can be associated with the retinal optic flow-based cues and vehicular heading as sources of information. This work reconstructs dense retinal optic flow us
