Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS)

GVS Devices

We have a number of GVS devices utilized for various research purposes. The GVS devices provide small currents (< 4 mA) to the inner ear, which can modulate both semicircular canal and otolith organ afferents. Some practical applications for this neuromodulation we have investigated include using GVS as an alternative display modality to relay information, as a disorientation trainer to induce similar sensations astronauts experience during gravity transitions, and to enhance balance performance.
