Why does the head spin after rotation in place?

Q. Why does the head spin after rotation in Place?

As people turn their head, they use their eyes trying to hold their gaze on one object or another. After a while, the nervous mechanism that allows this eye movement (called nystagmus) switches to a self-sustaining mode.

If the rotation stops, the eye continue to make nystagmatic movements.
