Vertical Skew due to Varying Gravitoinertial Forces: A Possible Consequence of Otolith Asymmetry

Barany 2002 abstract (pdf)

 

Movies of eye movements: the white bar in the upper-left corner indicates the gravity level. Note how the left eye is relatively higher than the right eye for the initial 40 seconds when gravity is near 1.8-g. As gravity drops to zero-g, the two eyes' vertical positions become much closer. (These AVI files range from 60-70 seconds, and are about 2 MB each)
