Galvanic vestibular stimulation is a simple, harmless, noninvasive and low-cost research technique. In spite on a long history, it has been recently found popularity as a research tool. At present occurs of its revival as a research and diagnostic tool. Considerable effects of such stimulation for motor, visual, somatosensory, vestibular and cognitive/emotional function as well as for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders have been reported. Obviously, any process that is able to extract an information due to head acceleration signals is a candidate on galvanic vestibular stimulation. In this review, we describe the basic physiological mechanisms of action of galvanic vestibular stimulation. We also consider a modern data of its influence on human, obtained in physiological and clinical studies.
电前庭刺激是一种简单、无害、非侵入性且低成本的研究技术。尽管其历史悠久，但最近它作为一种研究工具受到了欢迎。目前它正复兴成为一种研究和诊断工具。据报道，这种刺激对运动、视觉、躯体感觉、前庭和认知/情感功能以及一系列神经和精神疾病都有显著影响。显然，任何能够根据头部加速度信号提取信息的过程都是电前庭刺激的候选对象。在这篇综述中，我们描述了电前庭刺激的基本生理作用机制。我们还考虑了其在生理和临床研究中对人类影响的现代数据。
