<p>By: Dr. Richard D. Arnold, Naval Medical Research Unit-Dayton Scientific Director.<br><br>"At Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, the Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) Dayton’s aeromedical directorate conducts aerospace-relevant basic and applied research in the biomedical and behavioral sciences. Principal areas of investigation include spatial disorientation, situational awareness, motion sickness, adaptation to unusual acceleration environments, effects of altitude, sustained operations and fatigue, personnel selection testing, and visual and auditory sciences. Our lab boasts a unique collection of man-rated acceleration research devices. These devices are used by NAMRU-  Dayton researchers, as well as by visiting scientists from around the world. One of the devices is the Vertical Linear Accelerator (VLA). The VLA is designed to generate precisely controlled vertical accelerations and serves as a platform for human research on such problems as vibration, spatial disorientation and motion sickness."
