“Getting Your Sea Legs: The Horizon, Seasickness, and Adaptive
Human Movement.”
Going to sea means living on a moving surface. It takes time to
adapt to life
on a moving surface: We must learn new ways to control the body.
This learning
period is known as "getting your sea legs." Mariners have known
about
it for thousands of years, but until recently there had been no
scientific
research examining the actual physical adjustments that we make in
the control
of the body. How, exactly, does bodily movement change as we get
our sea legs?
Why does this process include seasickness (for some, but not for
others)? Why
does the horizon seem to be important, and what can the horizon
have to do with
learning how to control the body? Professor Stoffregen will
discuss these
questions in the light of experimental research conducted on crew
members and
passengers on ships at sea. Some of the answers confirm ancient
nautical lore,
but some are unexpected, and very surprising. </span><span
