Electrogastrographic and Autonomic Responses During Oculovestibular Recoupling in Flight Simulation

Healthy individuals experience normal psychophysiological responses to apparent motion simulation in a flight simulator. These responses, called simulator sickness (SS), are a computer-generated form of motion sickness (MS). Gastrointestinal, central and peripheral symptoms can vary by individual, severity, and incidence, making the quantification and comparative analysis of SS results difficult. In this study, electrogastrography (EGG) and cardiac interbeat intervals proved to be promising tools for assessing changes related to flight simulation and SS. The study also showed that oculovestibular-recoupled (OVR) technology may have the potential to stabilize the gastric activity and cardiac changes commonly associated with SS and MS.
