Data For: Vestibular Attenuation To Random-Waveform Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation During Standing And Treadmill Walking, Chris Dakin
Browse all Datasets
The ability to move and maintain posture in space is critically dependent on motion and orientation information provided by the vestibular system. When this system delivers noisy or erred information it can, in some cases, be disregarded through habituation. Here we investigate whether multiple mechanisms of habituation act to attenuate vestibulomotor gain due to noise added using random-waveform electric vestibular stimulation (EVS). Forty-five participants completed one of three conditions. Each condition consisted of two four-minute standing periods with stimulation surrounding a one-hour period of either walking with stimulation, walking without stimulation, or sitting quietly. Participants stood and walked on an …
