The vestibular system has become highly adapted to the particular patterns of head movement normally associated with the environment in which it has evolved. But in flight and space, totally different patterns of movement are encountered and serious mis-matching can arise between this sensory system and the new environment. The nature of such inaptitude is examined in terms of current physiological understanding of the otolith organs, semicircular canals, associated central neural mechanisms and the vestibulo-ocular reflex. Applied consequences are considered in the contexts of flight in the atmosphere and in space. (Author)
