Task Book: Entry
Principal Investigator: Young, Laurence

Aims:
1. Demonstrate that individual differences exist in the ability to adapt to gravitational transitions, and can be measured quantitatively by measures of subjective orientation, closed loop manual control, and subjective motions sickness reports.

2. Test whether pre-training by adapting to one altered gravity environment can improve sensorimotor adaptation in another altered gravity environment.

3. Test whether the leading pharmacological agent, promethazine, affects either basic vestibular perceptual function or the adaptation rate to an altered gravity environment and the associated motion sickness symptoms.

4. Develop and test a combined pre-adaptation training and pharmacological intervention protocol that can both improve sensorimotor adaptation and reduce the associate motion sickness.
