1958 Jrnl. Aviation Med. 29 504 We predicted an apparent motion under conditions of reduced gravity which would be opposite in direction to the one observed at increased accelerative force. This hypothetical phenomenon, which may be observed best in the zero-gravity state, is called the oculo-agravic illusion.

1961 H. G. Armstrong Aerospace Med. xv. 232/1 The authors attribute the oculoagravic illusion to an otolith response and noted that the direction of apparent movement of the image was the opposite of that expected from the previous work..on the oculogravic illusion.

1968 R. A. Weale From Sight to Light vi. 117 The oculo-agravic illusion has been studied by means of the apparent movement of an after-image.

1958 Neurology 7 829/1 The literature makes little reference to the oculocephalic reflex (‘doll phenomenon’) and the caloric test in relation to the state of consciousness.

1947 A. Graybiel et al. in Jrnl. Exper. Psychol. 37 170 The oculo-gravic illusion refers to the apparent displacement of an object in space which may be observed when the sensory receptors in the otolith organs are stimulated by an accelerative force which forms a resultant vector with the force of gravity.

1968 R. A. Weale From Sight to Light vi. 116 The oculogravic phenomenon was accompanied by a downward turn of the eyes as acceleration increased and if no fixation light was provided.

1974 V. B. Mountcastle et al. Med. Physiol. (ed. 13) I. xxvii. 716/2 When the resultant gravitoinertial force is displaced from the earth vertical, the subject perceives himself as tilted (the oculogravic illusion).

1987 D. J. Weatherall et al. Oxf. Textbk. Med. (ed. 2) I. vi. 116/1 Oculogravic illusions are regarded as being part of a situation where linear acceleration stimulates the otoliths and other receptors, resulting in displacement of the visual scene.

1946 A. Graybiel & D. I. Hupp in Jrnl. Aviation Med. 17 3/1 If..visual cues are reduced by darkness, relatively weak stimulation of the labyrinth may cause strong illusions of apparent motion which may persist after all other sensations of rotation have disappeared. To this visual phenomenon, produced in this manner, we have applied the term ‘oculo-gyral illusion’.

1953 R. A. McFarland Human Factors Air Transportation iv. 192/1 The oculogyral illusion has its origin in the stimulation of the vestibular mechanism rather than in the eye alone.

1968 R. A. Weale From Sight to Light vi. 115 The astronaut Glenn reported on the oculogyral effect that he experienced in orbit.
