We investigated the effectiveness of galvanic cutaneous stimulation (GCS) and auditory stimulation in mitigating simulator adaptation syndrome (SAS). Fifteen drivers (9 men; M age = 23.2 years) participated in a driving simulation experiment comparing three different stimulation conditions (GCS, auditory stimulation and no stimulation as a base line condition) in curves on a virtual urban circuit. GCS and auditory stimulation decreased SAS by reducing head sway. Both sources of stimulation can be recommended as countermeasures against SAS. We encourage the use of stimuli which influence the balancing ability to the design of future simulator protocols and devices to mitigate SAS.
We have provided evidence on the effectiveness of two different stimuli as countermeasures against simulator adaptation syndrome (SAS). We concluded that the positive impact of body sway might play a role in SAS and therefore encourage the use of stimuli which influence the balancing ability to mitigate the symptoms of SAS.
我们研究了皮肤电刺激（GCS）和听觉刺激在减轻模拟器适应综合征（SAS）方面的有效性。15名驾驶员（9名男性；平均年龄 = 23.2岁）参与了一项驾驶模拟实验，该实验在虚拟城市赛道的弯道上比较了三种不同的刺激条件（GCS、听觉刺激和无刺激作为基线条件）。GCS和听觉刺激通过减少头部晃动降低了SAS。这两种刺激源均可作为对抗SAS的对策推荐使用。我们鼓励在未来模拟器协议和设备的设计中使用影响平衡能力的刺激来减轻SAS。
我们提供了两种不同刺激作为对抗模拟器适应综合征（SAS）对策有效性的证据。我们得出结论，身体晃动的积极影响可能在SAS中起作用，因此鼓励使用影响平衡能力的刺激来减轻SAS的症状。
