Funky Chicken
[edit]After G-lock, epileptic muscle movements can occur. This happened to me omve, during ATPL flight training in the 80's, which included six hours aerobatics.
When discussing my experience with ex-airforce pilots, they all refered to this phenomenon as 'Funky Chicken'. Pvheyst (talk) 13:36, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
g-LOC
[edit]Although from similar causes. g-LOC is caused by rapid onset of g rather than just high-g. So someone experiencing high-g will grey-out or black-out and recover as soon as the g is relaxed. With g-LOC the state of unconciousness persists and is characterised by spamodic movements of limbs, causing the strange manoeuvres seen when pilots experience it.--Petebutt (talk) 07:40, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Lack of cerebral blood flow
[edit]Feels completely blocked and he just held the spot on my left glutamis for a temporary time before it felt the blood switched direction right back to my cerebral cortex and blood pressure is now in crosshairs with each other. Systematic blood pressure reach stroke level on the axis board without induced heart rate. Without induced heart rate the brain now sits at systemic stroke level.

g-LOC or G-LOC? The latter appears to be more correct.
[edit]The title is currently written with the initial letter lowercase (g-LOC), but most of the remaining instances on the page use the all uppercase (G-LOC). The exceptions are only in the "See also" section. I get the logic of the lowercase g matching the symbol for standard gravity, but that's not the way it appears in the technical literature. A quick check on Google Scholar came up all G-LOC, so that should be the way it's written in the title and elsewhere on the page. ~2025-35920-05 (talk) 11:12, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
