How Do We Get Dizzy When We Spin in Circles?

We might not be running marathons and passing batons all that much, but we are still accelerating and decelerating fairly regularly. The brain's constant attempt to coor vestibular information with visual information from the eyes can cause dizziness. Spinning is more complicated when we move our head during a spin,. Our eyes start to move in the opposite direction, but reach their limit before our head completes a full 360 degree turn. So our eyes flick back to a new starting position mid spin, and the motion peats as we rotate.
