Twenty-one subjects were exposed to a laboratory method for producing motion sickness (canal sickness) aboard the Slow Rotation Room. In an effort to determine the predictive ability of this method the subjects were also subjected to aerobatics in an aircraft and to heavy or calm sea states. In addition nystagmic response to caloric stimulation was observed. It was found that a positive relationship existed between performance on the Slow Rotation Room, caloric irrigation, and airsickness. This relationship also existed during heavy seas and to a lesser extent in moderate seas.
