The Influence of Biofeedback and Autogenic Training on Motion Sickness Tolerance

Abstract

Three groups of six subjects were exposed for six weeks to weekly sessions of Coriolis stimulation to induce motion sickness. Between the first and second Coriolis sessions, subjects in the experimental groups received five episodes of autogenic feedback(biofeedback) training with either true (group TFB) or false (group (FFB) feedback on their heart rate (HR) and skin temperature (ST). The control group (CTL) received no treatment Subjects learned to control their HR and ST independent of whether they received true or false feedback. Learned control of ST and HR was not related to subject's ability to withstand Coriolis stimulation following treatment.
