Effection of motion on the parameters of the human operator engaged in a roll axis tracking task

A multiple-input single-output linear state variable model is used to determine the extent to which a human controller involved in a compensatory tracking task uses cues other than the visual error signal to improve his tracking performance. The control system used in this study is a roll axis chair designed to simulate roll in a high performance aircraft. The additional cues studied are the angular position and angular velocity of the human controller.
