Vibrotactile feedback as a countermeasure for spatial disorientation [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 Spaceflight can make astronauts susceptible to spatial disorientation which is one of the leading causes of fatal aircraft accidents. In our experiment, blindfolded participants used a joystick to balance themselves while inside a multi-axis rotation ...

Less Vibrotactile Feedback Is Effective to Improve Human Balance Control during Sensory Cues Alteration [PDF]
Sensors, 2022 For individuals with altered sensory cues, vibrotactile feedback improves their balance control. However, should vibrotactile feedback be provided every time balance control is compromised, or only one-third of the time their balance is compromised?

Artificial vibrotactile feedback elicits neural correlates of sense of agency [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and RehabilitationBackground The Sense of Agency (SoA) refers to the subjective experience of having control over our own actions and their outcomes. SoA is experienced when there is a match between the predicted and actual sensory outcomes of an intended motor action ...
