GVS; Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation

A wireless device to transmit low level current signals to induce sensations of tilting in human subjects. There are 4 versions of the device which have been produced:

• non-real time - stores script files to be applied to subject after activation
• real time - stimulation received from PC via r/f wireless link
• space qualified, real time - stimulation received from PC via i/r wireless link
• head tilt acceleration, real time
