Sensorimotor impairment from a new analog of spaceflight-altered neurovestibular cues.
J Neurophysiol. 2019 Nov 20. [Epub ahead of print]
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Note: From the Introduction: “Here, we propose a novel ground-based approach to produce sustained replication of the neurovestibular cues experienced in microgravity, in a single plane by restraining the head to keep gravity out of the plane of interest. Translation and rotation stimulation, typically experienced in microgravity, is produced through the base of a motorized wheelchair attached to a recumbent bed that persons lie on during exposure.”
