Our project team is carrying out an integrated set of experiments, each the responsibility of a lead investigator. Our goal is to provide a rationale and validated methodologies for a scientifically based preflight visual orientation training countermeasure. York University 8ft. Subjects gravitational orientation in the York room can be independently controlled. Supine subjects looking at visual scene through a 45 deg.
Subjects often feel as if they are standing erect.
Subjects learn to visualize and predict the location of objects presented on video monitors around as when in a variety of different body orientations. Subjects wearing VR head mounted display view the interior of a simulated space station. In navigation experiments, subjects traverse a route through several modules and nodes, and then indicate the the direction home. Try this experiment yourself. Studies show that animals construct an internal spatial representation of their environment and use this for spatial orientation and navigation.
