Bonato and Bubka conducted using an optokinetic drum &#8212; a simulator that explores how vision affects self-motion perception and motion sickness. The drum\u2019s spinning, patterned interior rotates around a stationary person, confusing the senses and creating motion sickness symptoms.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The experiments that Drs. Bonato and Bubka conduct using the drum are an attempt to find a deeper understanding of how senses interact and affect not just motion sickness, but its variants such as simulator sickness and space sickness. This research is also important to NASA, because a new cure for space sickness could allow astronauts to travel to Mars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs both scientists and educators, we are, of course, in favor of anything that promotes an interest in science. We like the idea of scientific connections because it demonstrates how a basic experiment using an optokinetic drum can have practical applications down the road, such as solving some very serious problems for space exploration,\u201d commented Dr. Bonato.<\/p>\n<p>Drs. Bonato and Bubka built the drum apparatus, designed various experiments with the drum\u2019s use, and have published 10 papers\u00a0 regarding motion-sickness-related topics. Both professors are full members of the Aerospace Medical Association; their research on the topic of motion sickness began in 2000.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dr. Bonato aside from being a highly regarded scientific reseacher is\u00a0further the Director of the\u00a0<em>Office of Faculty Research and Sponsored Programs<\/em>\u00a0at Saint Peter&#8217;s College.
