We examined the effect of circadian rhythms on self-motion perception (vection). We measured the strength of vection (i.e. latency, duration, and magnitude of vection) every three hours from 9 AM to 9 PM. The results showed that vection was similar at all times measured. Thus, we concluded that vection was unaffected by circadian clock.
