Prism goggles

Sensory effect of the prism googles

Distorts vision through howling, distorting lines, causing vision/object depth to be off and appear different.distorting

Adaption to the effect of prism goggles is obtained by

Actively interacting with the environment

Part of the brain that is critical for plasticity of visual-motor interactions

cerebellum

What is expected sensory effected immediately after google removal

-Negative effect

• Period of adapting to the new environment causing motor accuracy to go down

• Vision will be blurry as it readapts

2 other experiments in our motor learning lab

• tracing a star

• wearing “beer goggles” while shooting a basketball

Concept of todays lab

Implicit memory formation and sensory adaptation

Blood alcohol level for beer goggles

0.07-0.10%

Blood alcohol level for distorted goggles

0.17-0.1%

Visuo-motor plasticity

coordination between visual input and motor output. Input altered motor will be inaccuarte.
