Motor performance and motor learning in sustained +3 Gz acceleration.

30 Aug 2008 INTRODUCTION: Previous studies have shown that increased head-to-foot acceleration (+Gz) like that experienced in maneuvering aircraft impairs motor performance. However, there are few studies of motor performance providing detailed descriptions of ... Read more...

Visual flow scene effects on the somatogravic illusion in non-pilots.

30 Aug 2008 INTRODUCTION: The somatogravic illusion (SGI) is easily broken when the pilot looks out the aircraft window during daylight flight, but it has proven difficult to break or even reduce the SGI in non-pilots in simulators using synthetic visual ... Read more...

Virtual reality exposure in the treatment of fear of flying.

30 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: Recently, a growing body of research has appeared on different aspects of virtual reality exposure (VRE) therapy applied to the treatment of anxiety disorders. The purpose of this article was to review with a systematic methodology the ... Read more...
