vestibular

The article you cited describes games that feature 2d projection of artificial 3d movement that doesn't correspond with the signals coming in to our vestibular system.

They are tuition free for students who are accepted based on a standardized test given in Portuguese called the vestibular.

For example one patient was able to regain her balance by rerouting the signal from her vestibular system to her tongue.

Simulator sickness is mostly caused by excess latency and confusion of the vestibular system.

Or you know, somebody could have a legitimate condition like a vestibular disorder.

Its when you're brain is convinced it should sense vestibular changes and it doesn't, that you throw up, get nauseous and dizzy etc.

At least until we manage to fool the vestibular system as well as we can the eyes.

Apart from its anxiolytic effects, it's a powerful vestibular suppressant, and works far better than anything I'd tried before (e.g.

I suspect that stimulating the vestibular nerve is going to be the detail that makes VR.

And if so, could we use VR to help people with vestibular disorders?

A gimbal-mounted seat would change how often you bumped around, but your vestibular system would still sense things like going up/down a hill or making a turn.

Students choose a major, then take the vestibular.

Yep, a good search term is "galvanic vestibular stimulation".

Hopefully not recalibrating it to "ignore" your vestibular system..

I suspect it's more like "decoupling" vision and vestibular system.

As in, people are saying "After playing in my Rift for a few weeks, I can suddenly read in the car for the first time!" Is this because the VR experience is causing your brain to recalibrate your vestibular system [1]?

I guess the human analogy would be like overriding the inner-ear mechanisms (Vestibular system) to control balance (left and right).
