The vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) is known to be modulated in response to changing vestibular and optokinetic stimuli. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between VOR and future susceptibility and habituation to seasickness. Thirty candidates for future maritime service were exposed to a series of yaw axis smooth harmonic accelerations before and after 6 months of regular sailing, and their VOR gain and phase responses were recorded. Seasickness severity was estimated after 1 and 6 months of service by a questionnaire. We conclude that VOR gain at 0.01 Hz may serve as a physiologic correlate helping to predict seasickness susceptibility, and that the increase in phase lead at 0.02 Hz may mark the habituation process to sea conditions.
