A particularly fascinating area of research in contemporary cognitive neuroscience is spatial navigation, which is based on a number of different afferences, including those of a visual, vestibular, and somaesthetic nature. Interconnected and complementary, the visuo-vestibular and somaesthetic afferences lead to creating allegorical representations. For instance, the maturation of both the ventral and dorsal pathways allows for the transformation of visual information into representations associated with objects recognition and location. This is the case regardless of whether the visual information is real or virtual, whether it is static or dynamic, or whether it is shadowed or unshadowed. Visual, vestibular, and automonic information contribute to the perception of imagined/simulated or virtual linear body motion at both the cortical and subcortical levels. The maturation of body representations, as well as navigation and spatial orientation, appears to be affected by. Body representation in three-dimensional (3D) real or virtual space may be conceived of as an egocentric reference that provides a basis for spatial navigation. It seems that cognitive processes are not the only determinants of body motion perception in both real and virtual environments; intuition and insight also exert a significant influence and may serve as viable alternatives for guiding individuals with visual impairments.
