Abstract:

The integrity of the visual and vestibular systems is important in the maintenance of orientation during flight. Although alcohol is known to affect the vestibular system through the development of a positional alcohol nystagmus, information concerning the effects of alcohol on 'vertigo' and eye-movement (nystagmus) responses to angular acceleration is contradictory. This study was designed to investigate the effect of alcohol ingestion on both 'vertigo' and nystagmus responses to angular stimulation. Responses were obtained (a) with and without visual fixation, and (b) with the alertness of the subjects controlled.
