ILLUSIONS OF HEAD AND VISUAL TARGET DISPLACEMENT INDUCED BY VIBRATION OF NECK MUSCLES

JANET L. TAYLOR and D. I. MCCLOSKEY

School of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia

Correspondence to: Correspondence to: Professor D. I. McCloskey, School of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of New South Wales, Kensington, Sydney 2033, Australia.

Vibration of the posterior muscles of the neck in human subjects induces illusions of displacement and movement of a visual target when there is no visual reference (Biguer et al., 1988). Although illusions of head movement are rarely reported by subjects, when they point to the location of the nose they demonstrate an alteration of the perceived position of the head. The kinaesthetic illusion is in a direction consistent with the visual illusion but is of smaller magnitude.

Received February 28, 1990. Accepted April 26, 1990.
