The visually perceived eye level (VPEL) was measured during gondola centrifugation. Subjects (N = 11) were seated upright, facing motion in a swing-out gondola The head was adjusted so that Reid's baseline was tilted 10 degrees anterior end up. The subjects were requested to adjust the position of a small luminous dot so that it was perceived as gravitationally at eye level. In the 1-g environment, the VPEL was a few degrees below the true gravitational eye level (M = -1.75 degrees, SD = 1.90 degrees). After rapid acceleration of the centrifuge to 2 G (vectorial sum of the earth gravity force and the centrifugal force), there was an exponentially increasing depression of the VPEL. The initial value was -6.4 degrees +/- 5.2 degrees. During 10 min at 2 G, the VPEL approached an asymptotic value of -24.8 degrees +/- 5.4 degrees. The time constant showed a large interindividual variability, ranging from 59 to 1,000 sec (M = 261 sec, median = 147 sec). The findings are discussed, taking into consideration otolith-semicircular-canal interaction, as well as memory functions of the vestibular system.
