OBSERVATION OF THE ELEVATOR ILLUSION DURING SUBGRAVITY PRECEDED BY NEGATIVE ACCELERATIONS.

Abstract

By observing apparent displacements of a real target, and visual afterimages, during weightless ness preceded by positive or negative accelera tion, it was possible to identify these displace ments as a special case of the elevator illusion, as opposed to the oculogravic illusion. Positive and negative linear acceleration, as well as weightlessness, was obtained for this purpose in jet aircraft. (Author)
