Abstract
Participants (n=60) were asked to walk over high-contrast, square-wave grating patterns projected onto the floor. Gratings between 1.0 and 0.5 cpd led to a reduction in velocity. We discuss the impact of spatial frequency of floor patterns with regard to visual discomfort and the consequences this has for human gait.
