A Topographical Analysis Of The Human Electroencephalogram For Patterns In The Development Of Motion Sickness, George S. Vogen
Theses and Dissertations
A topographical analysis was performed on 12 electroencephalograms (EEGs) collected from 10 volunteers who experienced motion sickness through cross-coupled Coriolis stimulation. Seven males and three females participated in the research conducted at the Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright- Patterson AFB. Two male volunteers participated in double-blind placebo/ phenytoin trials. Static brain maps and dynamic EEGs which focused on delta (below 3Hz) activity during the development of motion sickness revealed a seizure-like propagation pattern. With initial symptoms, a clear left parietal focus was seen in all records. A less dominant left fronto-temporal focus was present in 11 of the 12 …
