Physiological Data Acquisition System and Motion Sickness Prevention Trainer
Abstract
A physiological data acquisition system and rotating chair were erected to allow future studies on the prevention of motion sickness induced by coriolis stimulation. Physiological monitoring equipment to measure pulse-to- pulse heart rate, gastric motility, respiration rate, and skin pallor were designed and built. This physiological monitoring equipment and commercially available equipment which measures skin surface temperature, galvanic skin reflex (GSR), and electomyogram (EMG) of superficial muscles were integrated into a programmable digital data acquisition system. The programmable digital data acquisition system provides equivalent digital values for the analog outputs of the monitoring equipment at time intervals which can be chosen by an experimenter. These digital values are transmitted from the chair, through sliprings, to an output port where the signal processing and data recording equipment can be attached.
