Improvement of a figure copying deficit during subsensory galvanic vestibular stimulation.
We describe the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) on an individual who, following right hemisphere stroke, is unable to copy figures accurately. His copies contain most of the constituent elements, but are poorly integrated and drawn in a seemingly haphazard manner. To test whether GVS could help overcome these difficulties, we administered the Rey-Osterrieth complex figure copy ...
متن کاملImprovement of a face perception deficit via subsensory galvanic vestibular stimulation.
The remediative effect of galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) was investigated in a patient who, following right hemisphere damage, is profoundly unable to recognize faces. We administered a two-alternative forced choice match-to-sample task in which the patient had to choose which of two faces matched a sample face presented directly above, while bipolar, transcutaneous current was applied t...
متن کاملHabituation to Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation during Gait
Balance requires the integration of proprioceptive, visual, and vestibular sensory inputs. Contributions from the vestibular system are increasingly important when other sensory signals are lacking or erroneous [1]. Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS), the application of a small electrical current across the mastoid processes, has been used to apply a stimulus to the vestibular system indepen...
متن کاملGalvanic Stimulation of the Vestibular Periphery in Guinea Pigs During
23 Irregular vestibular afferents exhibit significant phase leads with respect to angular velocity of 24 the head in space. This characteristic and their connectivity with vestibulospinal neurons 25 suggest a functionally important role for these afferents in producing the vestibulo-collic 26 reflex (VCR). A goal of these experiments was to test this hypothesis using weak galvanic 27 stimulatio...
متن کاملGalvanic vestibular stimulation modulates the electrophysiological response during face processing.
Although galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is known to affect the speed and accuracy of visual judgments, the underlying electrophysiological response has not been explored. In the present study, we therefore investigated the effect of GVS on the N170 event-related potential, a marker commonly associated with early visual structural encoding. To elicit the waveform, participants distinguish...
