  Title: STS-47 Payload Specialist Mohri conducts visual stability experiment in SLJ
  Description:
  STS-47 Payload Specialist Mamoru Mohri, using the light impulse stimulation 
  experiment hardware, conducts Comparative Measurement of Visual Stability
  in  Earth and Cosmic Space (VISUAL STABILITY).  The hardware is set up in
  the  forward section of the Spacelab Japan (SLJ) science module aboard the 
  Earth-orbiting Endeavour, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 105.  The experiment will 
  investigate the lack of eye, head, and body coordination as a possible 
  contributor to space adaptation syndrome (SAS). Electrodes attached to
  Mohri  record his eye movements and neck tension as he tracks a flickering
  light  while he is at a 45-degree angle.  Mohri represents Japan's National
  Space  Development Agency (NASDA).
