In psychophysical perception, the Coriolis effect is a form of nausea induced by the Coriolis force (also referred to as the Coriolis illusion).[1][2][3][4] The Coriolis effect is a concern of pilots, where it can cause extreme discomfort and disorientation.[5][6][7][8]
Subjects in a rotating environment that reach to point at a target make errors consistent with the Coriolis force acting upon their arms.
A rotating subject that has reached equilibrium with their rotation finds that upon tilting the head the feeling is that a rotation is occurring about the new axis of the head, when in fact that is not occurring at all. http://books.google.com/books?id=_6hymYAgC6MC&pg=PA175&lpg=PA175&dq=VESTIBULAR+CORIOLIS+ILLUSION&source=bl&ots=Nv8fRQGIUr&sig=32jT7VepXv9mVOa0WmJDvYqpJuk&hl=en&ei=0j1eTZT5HoassAO4kdDSCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=6&ved=0CDYQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=VESTIBULAR%20CORIOLIS%20ILLUSION&f=false NASA
Vestibular system
The vestibular system of the ear senses balance, motion, and body position. The three semicircular canals observe acceleration in the three planes of motion: pitch (nod yes), yaw (twist your head no), and roll (pivot head from left to right shoulder without twisting). The otolith organs detect linear acceleration.
