Abstract

This project has been investigating the correlation between galvanic vestibular stimulation and human divided attention. An in depth literature review was made, in which positive and negative effects were found to exist on both balance and cognitive task performance. The review was concluded with a test design, followed by implementing and a test performed on 20 healthy young adults. The results were inconclusive, but a solid framework was provided. Finding more variability than initially expected, the results hint a possibility of some other variables that may exist, but have not yet been established.
