Rotating platform. Subjects stepped in place at the center of a platform that rotated counterclockwise at a velocity of 60 deg/s. When the platform stopped, they continued stepping in place blindfolded. In order to prevent subject’s translation from the center of the platform, a lightweight hula hoop was fixed to the platform outer railing by elastic straps at pelvic height.
