At present, the cause of motion sickness is still a mystery, but scientists prevalent theory is that when we are moving, when our brains from the ears and the eyes have received confusing information.
This is a very common scenario, and an impact on most people, this means that we will ship or riding a roller coaster feel queasy. In addition, one out of every 10 people will have 3 people experienced unbearable sickness symptoms, such as dizziness, severe nausea, vomiting, and sweating, and so on.
A few days ago, a study from Imperial College London, published in the journal Neurology, the results showed that, exerting mild currents in the scalp can inhibit the area of the brain responsible for processing signal response. Doing so helps reduce clutter signal input of the brain, so as to prevent the symptoms of motion sickness. This technology provides a very safe and effective interventions, could anyone can buy next to the device.
It is understood that Dr Qadeer Arshad from London's Imperial College School of medicine who led the study, said: "we have the confidence to allow people to walk into a pharmacy to buy in the 5-10 to anti-sea appliance. "This device could be a similar to machines used to treat back pain.
"We hope that it can even phone integrated with, this headset jack provides the technology needed to moderate current. In this case, you only need to connect the small electrode before the journey begins on the scalp, such as prior to boarding. "
In order to prove the effect of electrical stimulation, the researchers conducted a study of simulated seasickness. In the course of study, volunteers with electrodes on their head, in about 10 minutes, and then they were asked to simulate humans on board in Tilt Swivel chair or on a roller-coaster campaign. After the treatment, they felt nausea and to reduce the chance of many, and recover more quickly.
Involved in the study of motion sickness expert Professor Michael Gresty said: "the problem with motion sickness therapy is effective pills often cause drowsiness. If you are just a short trip, it all does not matter, but if you need to work while anti-motion while on a cruise, then what should I do? " No artificial intelligence Internet of things
"We are really pleased to be able to find a way to provide an effective measure and there are no apparent side effects of motion sickness therapy. We can achieve results very close to the best motion sickness, motion sickness pills. "
The team has begun discussions with partners and equipment research and development issues, military-industrial sector but also to the study of particular interest. This technology has the potential to help those remote controlled drones through a visual interface feel disgusting people.
Dr Qadeer Arshad said: "in other studies, we found clear evidence that stimulating the brain in this way to improve attention and concentration. Military has expressed great interest, we can imagine, others like students and played computer games for a long time people will want to try it. "He said, studying the currents involved are very small, there is no reason to have an adverse effect in the short term when used.
