Metro Review
(d) A limiting factor is that if a turn
continues, the fluid catches up,
creating the sensation that the
turn has ceased
(e) Therefore, a prolonged turn
results in the false sensation of
not turning at all and, when the
turn stops, a sensation of a turn
in the opposite direction
(f) Additionally, any bank rate of
less than 2 degrees per second
is insufficient to stimulate the
fluid in the canals, and will not be
felt
