Coriolis cross-coupling effects: disorienting and nauseogenic or not?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nausea and disorientation are sometimes produced by head movements during turning maneuvers in aircraft. These responses are usually attributed to Coriolis cross-coupling stimulation of the vestibular system, although it has been indicated recently that many turning maneuvers of aircraft have insufficient angular velocity to generate such effects. The purpose of the present study was to further distinguish conditions in which Coriolis cross-coupling effects are disorienting and nauseogenic from conditions in which they are neither.

Adaptation in a rotating artificial gravity environment.
The centripetal force generated by a rotating space vehicle is a potential source of artificial gravity. Minimizing the cost of such a vehicle dictates using the smallest radius and highest rotation rate possible, but head movements made at high rotation rates generate disorienting, nauseogenic cross-coupled semicircular canal stimulation. Early studies suggested 3 or 4 rpm as the highest rate ...
متن کاملSensorimotor aspects of high-speed artificial gravity: III. Sensorimotor adaptation.
As a countermeasure to the debilitating physiological effects of weightlessness, astronauts could live continuously in an artificial gravity environment created by slow rotation of an entire spacecraft or be exposed to brief daily "doses" in a short radius centrifuge housed within a non-rotating spacecraft. A potential drawback to both approaches is that head movements made during rotation may ...
متن کاملVestibular coriolis effect differences modeled with three-dimensional linear-angular interactions.
The vestibular coriolis (or "cross-coupling") effect is traditionally explained by cross-coupled angular vectors, which, however, do not explain the differences in perceptual disturbance under different acceleration conditions. For example, during head roll tilt in a rotating chair, the magnitude of perceptual disturbance is affected by a number of factors, including acceleration or deceleratio...
متن کاملCoriolis dominated intramolecular state mixing in the acetylenic WI stretch overtone
The eigenstate-resolved 2q (acetylenic CH stretch) absorption spectrum of propyne has been observed for J’ =0-l 1 and K==O-3 in a skimmed supersonic molecular beam using optothermal detection. Radiation near 1.5 ,um was generated by a color center laser allowing spectra to be obtained with a full-width at half-maximum resolution of 6 x low4 cm-’ ( 18 MHz). Three distinct characteristics are obs...
متن کاملDeterminants of Motion Sickness in Tilting Trains: Coriolis/Cross-Coupling Stimuli and Tilt Delay
Faster trains require tilting of the cars to counterbalance the centrifugal forces during curves. Motion sensitive passengers, however, complain of discomfort and overt motion sickness. A recent study comparing different control systems in a tilting train, suggested that the delay of car tilts relative to the curve of the track contributes to motion sickness. Other aspects of the motion stimuli...
