    Otolithic stimulation via centrifuge (2-unit overload) impacts nystagmus. This study introduces a method to classify pilots as vestibulo-resistant or vestibulo-susceptible based on their nystagmic response under hyperbaric conditions.

    Area of Science:

    • Aerospace Medicine
    • Neuroscience
    • Human Physiology

    Background:

    • Vestibular system function is critical for pilot performance.
    • Assessing the vestibular analyzer in pilots can be complex, especially under challenging conditions.
    • Nystagmus is a key indicator of vestibular system activity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel method for evaluating the functional state of a pilot's vestibular analyzer.
    • To compare the intensity of nystagmic responses under normal and hyperbaric conditions for individual assessment.
    • To classify individuals based on their response to vestibular stimulation.

    Main Methods:

    • 454 experiments were conducted with sixty subjects.
    • 94 experiments utilized a centrifuge with a 2-unit overload for otolithic stimulation.

  • Comparative evaluation of nystagmic response intensity under normal and hyperbaric (2-unit overload) conditions.

    • Main Results:

    • Otolithic stimulation (2-unit overload) was found to either activate nystagmus or have no significant effect on its magnitude.
    • A new classification system was proposed: 'vestibulo-resistant' (increased nystagmic slow phase speed under hyperbaria) and 'vestibulo-susceptible' (unchanged slow phase speed).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a supplementary approach for complex vestibulometry in clinical settings.
    • Individual functional states of the vestibular analyzer can be assessed by comparing nystagmic responses under varying conditions.
    • The classification of vestibulo-resistant and vestibulo-susceptible individuals provides insights into vestibular adaptation.
