ABSTRACT=3 Objective: The main goal of our study is to clarify the EEG characteristics of the stress response
4 caused by vestibular endurance training under the real conditions.
5 Methods: Ten pilot trainees received a series of acute anti-vertigo training stimulations on
6 the rotary ladder while recording electroencephalographic data (64 electrodes).Afterwards,the
7 subject’s anti-vertigo ability was tested for the best performance after 1 month of training, and
8 verifying whether it is relating to the EEG signals we collected before.
9 Results: (1) The absolute power of α waves in the C3 and C4 regions is same as the difference
10 between 1 min before and 2 min after stimulation, and their activity is enhanced by stimulation.
11 Otherwise, the activation of the C3 region after 5min of stimulation is still significant changed.
12 (2) Discover a spearman rank correlation, the α waves in the C3 and C4 the greater the power
13 change, the better the performance of the subject in the proficient stage.
14 Conclusions: C3 and C4 areas are specific brain regions of the stress response of anti-vertigo
15 endurance training, and the absolute power of the α wave can be used as a parameter for
16 identifying the degree of motion sickness(MS). The absolute power changes of α waves in the C3
17 and C4 areas are positively correlated with their anti-vertigo potential.
18 Significance: The increasing of the absolute power of α wave in the C3 and C4 is a manifestation
19 of MS stress adaptability.
