 Abstract: To determine own upright body orientation the brain creates a sense of verticality by a combination of multisensory inputs. To test whether this process is affected by aging, we placed younger and older adults on a motion platform and systematically tilted the orientation of their visual surroundings by using an augmented reality setup. In a series of trials, participants adjusted the orientation of the platform until they perceived themselves to be upright. Tilting the visual scene around the roll axis induced a bias in subjective postural vertical determination in the direction of scene tilt in both groups. In the group of older participants, however, the observed peak bias was larger and occurred at larger visual tilt angles. This indicates that the susceptibility to visually induced biases increases with age, possibly caused by a reduced reliability of sensory information.
