Computerized Biophysical Data Acquisition System for Motion Sickness Studies.

Abstract

A biophysical data acquisition system was integrated with a MASSCOMP MC500 computer to provide the foundation for a computerized motion sickness rehabilitation program. A user-friendly data acquisition system was developed to process several different channels of biophysical information from a subject. This system processes the data to create graphics for operator interaction on a real-time basis and stores data for later retrieval and analysis. The electrical schematics and frequency responses of the fabricated physiological monitoring equipment used to measure heart rate, gastric motility, respiration rate, skin pallor, intestinal tone, and eye movement were completed.
