Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Applied to Flight Training
… 184 of them resulting in fatalities. Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) provides a cost effective and safe way to simulate spatial disorientation and potentially test pilot’s vestibular system prior to aircraft operation. This experiment investigates the use of GVS as an indicator of motion …

A parametric study of vestibular stimulation during centrifugation
… centrifugation, however, trigger a disturbing vestibular response that is only qualitatively understood. In order to design an efficient incremental adaptation procedure, the present study investigates the quantitative aspect of the vestibular side effects associated with AG, in particular, the …

Enhancement of perception with the application of stochastic vestibular stimulation
… the potential use of electrical stochastic vestibular stimulation (SVS) as a sensorimotor aid to lower vestibular thresholds and improve manual control. We hypothesized that low-level, subsensory bandlimited white noise (±200 - ±700 [mu]A peak, 52 - 182 ±5% [mu]A RMS) passed between surface …

The effect of mechanical vestibular stimulation on muscle tone and spasticity in individuals with neurological impairment
… mainly in Cerebral Palsy (CP) and to examine vestibular stimulation as a future intervention for .muscle tone reduction, and to be able to describe the change in level of spasticity in subjects with disability and describe interventions effects, a series of experiments are done on children …

Effects of vestibular stimulation on sitting and vocal behaviors among preschoolers with severe and multiple handicaps
… across subjects was used to assess The effect of vestibular stimulation on the acquisition of erect and symmetrical sitting and vocal behaviors of preschoolers with severe and multiple handicaps. The subjects were three children aged three to five with various handicapping conditions. Measurements …

The Influence of Enhanced Tactile and Vestibular Sensory Stimulation on Subsequent Auditory and Visual Responsiveness: A Matter of Timing
… another. Few studies have addressed how modified stimulation to earlier-emerging modalities might influence the functioning of relatively later-developing modalities. Previous findings have shown that enhanced prenatal tactile and vestibular (proximal) stimulation extended and delayed normal …

The Vestibular System's Influence on the Perceived Duration of Lights, Sounds, and Touches
… duration with and without disruptive galvanic vestibular stimulation (dGVS). Results revealed that light and tactile stimuli were perceived as longer than auditory stimuli, but the perception of auditory and tactile durations was unaffected by posture. However, visual duration was perceived as …

Development of a device for whole body stimulation of the otoliths
… that provide postural control, the proper stimulation, resulting in a reduction in spasticity, could be provided by simulating these conditions of microgravity. In order to simulate microgravity, a device has been developed that is capable of providing whole body stimulation of the …

Holding and rocking the full-term neonate: the immediate and residual effects on behavioral state and heart rate
… infants are repeatedly exposed to tactile and vestibular stimulation. This form of stimulation has been proposed to increase infants' ability to control and organize l) their behavioral state, 2) their arousal and autonomic functioning, or 3) that there is no clear relationship between …

Modeling and Monitoring of Otolith Organ Performance in US Navy Operating Environments
… in this model support previous studies on vestibular damage due to low frequency sound. Divers exposed to high-intensity underwater sound have experienced symptoms attributed to vestibular stimulation. An in-water video-oculography (VOG) system was developed to monitor divers' eye …
