Abstract
Electroretinograms from five subjects were recorded on the human centrifuge under varying degrees of accelerative stress up to and including blackout and unconsciousness. These findings were correlated with changes in the retinal circulation and with the consensual light reflex. It was found that the electroretinogram could not be employed as an objective measurement of blackout since it persisted throughout all the experiments, as did the consensual light reflex. These findings indicate a likely origin of blackout in or near the ganglion cell layer of the retina. Submitted on December 5, 1955Keywords
