Problem-solving and composure while disorientated
07 July 2017
We wish to find out what happens to our mental capabilities and our calmness when we become disorientated. This study may help us to understand human error by pilots who become disorientated in flight, and appreciate the day-to-day difficulties disorientation causes patients with vestibular disorders. You will be given a problem-solving task to do while being spun around in a motorised chair. The chair was purpose-built by the Royal Air Force and is now housed at the University of Westminster.
