A Study of Motion Sickness: Mathematical Modeling and Data Analysis

Abstract

Male test subjects were given the drug phenytoin in a double blind, placebo controlled crossover experiment. They were then rotated in a motion chair while eleven of their physiological parameters were measured. The drug appeared to be delay of even prevent the evolution of motion sickness, depending on the test subject. Barron Associates' Abductive Reasoning Mechanism soft- sickness data collected at AFIT in 1986,1987, and 1988. The biophysiological data collected in 1988 were analyzed for trends; several were found.
