Variations In Absolute Visual Thresholds During Acceleration Stress

Title
Variations In Absolute Visual Thresholds During Acceleration Stress
Description
Measurements are reported on the effects of moderate acceleration upon the absolute thresholds of foveal (cone) and peripheral (rod) vision.

This experiment shows that accelerative stress has a consistent and progressive effect on visual performance, this effect being proportional to the magnitude of the positive accelerations.
