Precision measurement of non-conscious avoidance reactions using 3D tracking: Validation across olfaction and vision

2026-05-04

Abstract excerpt

One of our sensory systems’ key functions is to detect threats in the environment. Sensory information eliciting negative emotions, such as fear or disgust, triggers instinctive avoidance reactions. This core survival mechanism is believed to be expressed as subtle non-conscious postural reactions, even when participants are instructed to stand still. Such avoidance behavior has mainly been studied using indirect...
