The responses of frogs to vestibular and visual stimulation in weightlessness.
The authors, using rotatory visual and vestibular stimulators, propose to perform an experiment to study the effect of long periods of weightlessness on vestibular and visual interactions in frogs. The results will be analysed within the Framework of sensory conflict theory. Preliminary experiments are in progress in order to determine the best method for containments of long duration.
