Why do people have direction illusion?

The "inner" can identify direction, waking would have illusions — — —

If you do not have the vision of helping people on the front line and back feeling turned out to be the same!

United Kingdom the focus magazine recently reported that researchers provide passengers close your eyes and imagine the train is moving in a direction opposite to the actual movement of the carriageway. As long as the train without acceleration or deceleration, train passengers will feel as if you really are moving in the opposite direction.

How is this illusion? no eyes help, why people have such a will? if the illusion of eyes open, you will be able to determine their direction is moving?

In addition to the Visual, the "inner" can identify the direction of movement

To address these questions, let's first look at who is relying on what to tell the direction of motion.

In fact, people on the direction of perception is a highly complex process. Peking University, school of psychology, cognitive neuroscience Professor Shen Cheng told reporters that this process includes from Visual and auditory effect.

Professor Shen explained that visually on the direction of the had two levels of feeling. First, the static position, direction and location, this is the brain's visual perception of the direction to sensory cells. To another level — — the movement against different orientations, you rely on to determine the direction of consciousness cells. Therefore, and azimuth direction compared to the perceptual cell cells will be advanced some of perception.

At the same time, in the course of the campaign, the inner ear is "quietly" plays the role of exercise balance.
