Perception of Affordance during Short-Term Exposure to Weightlessness in Parabolic Flight.
We investigated the role of the visual eye-height (VEH) in the perception of affordance during short-term exposure to weightlessness. Sixteen participants were tested during parabolic flight (0g) and on the ground (1g). Participants looked at a laptop showing a room in which a doorway-like aperture was presented. They were asked to adjust the opening of the virtual doorway until it was perceive...
متن کاملPerception of Body Longitudinal Axis in Microgravity during Parabolic Flight
On Earth, gravity and an internal sense of the body vertical help to maintain balance in every situation. This experiment investigated the ability of human subjects to accurately locate their trunk axis while free-floating in microgravity during parabolic flight. In this study we have compared the conditions where the head is aligned with the trunk, with the conditions where the head was tilted...
متن کاملPerception of Egocentric Distance during Gravitational Changes in Parabolic Flight
We explored the effect of gravity on the perceived representation of the absolute distance of objects to the observers within the range from 1.5-6 m. Experiments were performed on board the CNES Airbus Zero-G during parabolic flights eliciting repeated exposures to short periods of microgravity (0 g), hypergravity (1.8 g), and normal gravity (1 g). Two methods for obtaining estimates of perceiv...
متن کاملArterial pressure in humans during weightlessness induced by parabolic flights.
Results from our laboratory have indicated that, compared with those of the 1-G supine (Sup) position, left atrial diameter (LAD) and transmural central venous pressure increase in humans during weightlessness (0 G) induced by parabolic flights (R. Videbaek and P. Norsk. J. Appl. Physiol. 83: 1862-1866, 1997). Therefore, because cardiopulmonary low-pressure receptors are stimulated during 0 G, ...
متن کاملHealth impact assessment of short-term exposure to NO2 in Kermanshah, Iran using AirQ model
Background: Epidemiological studies have illustrated that exposure to atmospheric nitrogen oxides (NO2/NOX) is responsible for an increased risk of acute or chronic diseases such as cancer. In this study the health risks associated with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were assessed in the city of Kermanshah, the capital of Kermanshah province, Iran. Methods: Data on hourly NO2 levels that had been meas...
