---|---|---|
Functional MRI was performed in 28 healthy volunteers to study the effects of galvanic vestibular stimulation with alternating currents (AC-GVS) of different frequencies on brain activation patterns. The aims of this study were (1) to identify specific areas within the vestibular cortical network that are involved in the processing of frequency-specific aspects by correlation analyses, (2) to determine the optimal frequency for stimulation of the vestibular system with respect to perception, and (3) to analyze whether different frequencies of AC-GVS are mediated in different cortical areas or different sites within the vestibular cortex. AC-GVS was performed using sinusoidal stimulation currents with an amplitude of ±2.5 mA, and frequencies of 0.1 Hz, 0.3 Hz, 0.8 Hz, 1.0 Hz, 2.0 Hz, and 5.0 Hz were applied. |
