SENSATIONS OF ROTATION.
47. Perception of Uniform Rotations. Let the subject be seated upon the rotation table with closed eyes, Mindfolded if necessa~ry. Turn the table slowly and evenly in one direction or the other. Thé subject will immediately recognize the direction and a-pproxima-tely the amount of rotation when the rate is as slow as 2° per second, or even slower. After continued rotation at a regular rate the sensation becomes much less exact or entirely fai!s. This fact has been generalized by Mach in thé law that oniy change of rate, not continuous rotation, is perceived. After some pauses and short movements in one direction and the other, the subject may become quite lost, and give a totally wrong judgment of the direction of motion, if it is slow. 48. Illusion. of Backward Rotation. Let the subject be seated as before. Rotate him a little more rapidiy for hait a turn, and then stop him suddenly. A distinct sensation of rotation in the opposite direction will resuit. Repeat, and when the illusory rotation begins, open the eyes. It immediately ceases. Close the eyes again, and, if strong, it again returns.
