Nauseogenic Visual-Vestibular Interaction in a Visual Search Task.
Abstract
This study describes the development of a Visual-Vestibular Interaction (VVI) test which may be useful in predicting motion sickness susceptibility in working situations aboard ship, aircraft, and other moving vehicles. The nauseogenic aspect of visual suppression of the vestibulo-ocular nystagmus reflex was evaluated in three experiments. In approximately 5 percent of the subjects tested, motion sickness symptoms, including vomiting, developed. The establishment of individual sensitivities to this form of motion sickness is noteworthy, not only because of the similarity of the visual task to applied performance, but it also provides a basis for investigating the types of displays and visual loads encountered in moving vehicles.
