Topic: Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation

The negative impact of aging on the vestibular system and the integration of vestibular inputs by the central nervous system can potentially worsen the lack of vestibular input in areas related to cognition, leading to a decline in cognitive function. Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) is a non-invasive method that uses weak electrical currents to stimulate the vestibular system through electrodes placed over the mastoid processes. This study aimed to investigate whether GVS may improve cognitive performance in healthy older adults. Twenty-one subjects (12 female, age: 64.6 ± 2.9) were rand
