"In order to register our position, motion, and attitude within this fi xed frame of reference, we require a number of sensory inputs and perceptual mechanisms for the identification and interpretation of our orientation. Within this multiloop control system, the individual sensory components are mutually interactive and partially redundant because their functional ranges overlap. To the extent that their functional ranges do not overlap, the individual components compensate for each other’s deficiencies ( 10 ). The neural processing of these sensory inputs requires integration, interpretation, and critical comparison with the internal model that was established based on our past experience and training. Benson ( 4 ) suggested that the etiology of SD can be attributed to input and central errors that are not mutually exclusive of each other. Input error occurs when inadequate and/or erroneous sensory inputs regarding orientation are presented to the CNS; central error occurs when inadequate and/or erroneous perception of correct sensory inputs are presented by the CNS. Unlike other aerospace medical phenomena such as G-induced loss of consciousness or hypoxia, SD occurs in less well-defined environments, it can be unrecognized, and can be incapacitating. Therefore, SD involves the complexity of multiple, interactive sensory, perceptual, and central processing that in turn are influenced by the operational flying environment. The complexity of SD necessitates a multipronged countermeasure."<ref>Cheung, B. (2013). Spatial disorientation: more than just illusion.
