visually-induced motion

Visually-induced motion occurs when your brain perceives movement based solely on visual cues, even if your body is stationary. For example, when you're in a stationary train and the train beside you starts moving, you might feel like you're moving. This sensation happens because your eyes detect movement of objects around you, and your brain interprets these signals as motion. It’s a relaxing phenomenon in some contexts, like amusement park rides, but can also cause dizziness if your visual cues conflict with your physical senses. Essentially, your brain uses visual information to gauge movement, sometimes leading to false perceptions.
