Abstract: Objective: To investigate whether caloric vestibular stimulation, a non-invasive form of neuro-modulation, alters the level of awareness in people residing in a minimally conscious state. Design: Single-case (n = 2), prospective, controlled (ABAB) efficacy study. Setting: Tertiary,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0193963
Abstract: Introduction The vestibular acute stress induces reversible alert-like reactions that involve the sympathetic adrenal-medullar system and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis responses. The present study aimed to evaluate salivary α-amylase and salivary cortisol production in relation with cardiovascular… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2022.1049637
Abstract: Time-varying caloric vestibular stimulation (tvCVS) is a new form of non-invasive neuromodulation similar to, but different from, diagnostic caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS). Using a non-invasive, solid-state delivery device, tvCVS has been successfully used in a… read more here.
