Effect of bedrest and positive radial acceleration upon peripheral visual response time.Attempt to determine if peripheral visual response time (RT) could be used as a reliable advanced predictor of +G sub z-related blackout or grayout. The relatively high luminance of the peripheral stimuli used in the experiments may account for the finding that peripheral RT was not sensitive to impending blackout or grayout. The relatively consistent mean RTs within subjects across test days in bed is probably due to the relatively constant response characteristics of the retina and to the high repeatability of the stimuli.
