Oral Session 3: Vestibular Function

The human vestibular system comprises five motion detectors, being the three semicircular canals for rotation detection and two otolith organs for linear acceleration detection. Whereas Unilateral Centrifugation (UC) [1] is used for over a decade to evaluate the utricle, the ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) test is a very recent test, claiming to be also a utricular test. The...

Oral Session 2: Spatial Disorientation

In the absence of visual orientation cues, the inadequacy of the vestibular sense often contributes to orienting illusions [1] during flight. Spatial disorientation (SD) plays a significant role in helicopter accidents [2, 3], often when outside visual references are lost during landings in dusty environments [4]. The lack of ambient visual cues, the close proximity to the ground, and the urgen...
