from Latin oculus 'eye'.
1958 Gerathewohl & Stallings in Jrnl. AviationMed. XXIX. 504We predicted an apparent motion under conditions of reduced gravity which would be opposite in direction to the one observed at increased accelerative force. This hypothetical phenomenon, which may be observed best in the zero-gravity state, is called the *oculo⁓agravic illusion.
1961 H. G. Armstrong AerospaceMed. xv. 232/1The authors attribute the oculoagravic illusion to an otolith response and noted that the direction of apparent movement of the image was the opposite of that expected from the previous work..on the oculogravic illusion.
1968 R. A. Weale From Sight to Light vi. 117The oculo-agravic illusion has been studied by means of the apparent movement of an after-image.

1947 A. Graybiel et al. inJrnl. Exper. Psychol. XXXVII. 170The *oculo-gravic illusion refers to the apparent displacement of an object in space which may be observed when the sensory receptors in the otolith organs are stimulated by an accelerative force which forms a resultant vector with the force of gravity.
1968 R. A. Weale From Sight to Light vi. 116The oculogravic phenomenon was accompanied by a downward turn of the eyes as acceleration increased and if no fixation light was provided.
1946 Graybiel & Hupp in Jrnl. AviationMed. XVII. 3/1If..visual cues are reduced by darkness, relatively weak stimulation of the labyrinth may cause strong illusions of apparent motion which may persist after all other sensations of rotation have disappeared. To this visual phenomenon, produced in this manner, we have applied the term ‘*oculo-gyral illusion’.
1953 R. A. McFarland Human Factors Air Transportation iv. 192/1The oculogyral illusion has its origin in the stimulation of the vestibular mechanism rather than in the eye alone.
