While there is no official scientific consensus on the relationship between misophonia and misokinesia, some researchers and persons have taken to using the term misokinesia (hatred of movement) for visual triggers. It is important to note that this is just a name, and the underlaying mechanisms behind the two phenomenon could be related, or they could be part of a separate reaction.
The following visual triggers have been reported, but this does not mean that others are not possible.
- Gum Chewing
- Swaying
- Leg tapping/swaying
- Bags swaying
- Clocks
- Mouths Moving
- Pin Wheels
- Moving Signs
- Flashing/Blinking Lights
- Wind Mills
