Abstract

The results from a study by M. F. Morales on the labyrinthine response to motion are used, together with results of neural net theory, to enable one to calculate, in terms of a small number of parameters, the percentage of individuals who have motion sickness when exposed to rather general patterns of motion which may vary with time.
