Treatment and study plan

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation

Device

Low electrical currents to the vestibular system, to induce the realistic sensation of motion (i.e., the g-forces that occur during flight) as well as null out motion perception.

Primary outcomes

Motion Perception

Time frame: During the rotation of the chair, approximately 1 hr

Motion Perception verbal report using a visual analog scale (1-100) will be recorded during the rotation of the chair (1=feeling no motion perception; 100=feeling the maximum motion perception)

Secondary outcomes

Motion Sickness Questionnaire

Time frame: During the rotation of the chair, approximately 1 hr

subjective experiences of motion sickness in a scale of 0-10 (0=not at all; 10=most severe)
