Optimizing Noisy Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Frequency Range for Enhancing Vestibular Perception and Manual Control Performance

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Vestibular Function Tests, Sensorimotor Performance

In brief

This randomized crossover interventional study evaluated the effects of different frequency ranges of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) on vestibular perception, perceptual motion tracking, and manual control performance in healthy adults. Each participant completed three experimental conditions in randomized order: no stimulation (control), low-frequency nGVS, and high-frequency nGVS. Vestibular perceptual thresholds, perceptual tracking, and manual control performance were assessed during each condition to determine whether stimulation frequency influenced sensorimotor function.
