An assessment was made of visual contrast sensitivity and tremor micromovements of the eyes under conditions of “dry” immersion (DI), which simulates the physiological effects of weightlessness in the human body. Visual contrast sensitivity and ocular microtremor were evaluated in 10 human subjects...
