Gravity is one of the most fundamental physical forces in the Earth’s environment. A recent research, led by Assoc. Prof. Ying Wang and Prof. Yi Jiang at the Institute of Psychology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IPCAS), has provided new evidence that gravity not only determines how objects move but also profoundly affects how the human brain perceives and processes motion.

The study also reveals how this process works and identifies the neural mechanisms involved.
