[Human visual functions during mild vestibular exposures].

Human experiments have shown that after mild stimulation of semi-circular receptors, which induces no motion sickness symptoms, the time of recovery of the central vision acuity shortens and after stimulation of otolith receptors tends to increase. Thresholds of color discrimination as applied to the red, green and violet colours as well as the course of back adaptation after mild stimulation of otolith receptors remain unchanged. The time of appearance of the Purkinje phenomenon after stimulation of receptors of semi-circular canals often remains unaltered and sometimes increases. It is assumed that the visual fixation of objects occurring with the time deficiency as related to the object display is accompanied by a compensatory-adaptive increase in the resolution capacity of the visual system.
