Abstract

There is a discrepancy between Stoffregen & Bardy's concept withexperimental work on human self-motion perception. We suggest analternative: (1) higher brain centers are informed by a givensensory cue in a direct and rapid way (direct perception), and (2)this information is then used to prime and shape a more complexmechanism that usually involves several cues and processing steps(inferential).
