Human perception of self-motion and orientation during galvanic vestibular stimulation and physical motion.

Galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) is an emergent tool for stimulating the vestibular system, offering the potential to manipulate or enhance processes relying on vestibular-mediated central pathways. However, the extent of GVS's influence on the perception of self-orientation pathways is not understood, particularly in the presence of physical motions. Here, we quantify roll tilt perception impacted by GVS during passive whole-body roll tilts in humans (N = 11).

The Next Frontier in Tuberculosis Investigation: Automated Whole Genome Sequencing for Analysis.

A fully automated bacteria whole genome sequencing (WGS) assay was evaluated to characterize (MTB) and non-tuberculosis (NTM) clinical isolates. The results generated were highly reproducible, with 100% concordance in species and sub-lineage classification and 92% concordance between antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genotypic and phenotypic profiles. Using extracted deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) from MTB clinical isolates as starting material, these findings demonstrate that a fully automated WGS assay, with a short turnaround time of 24.

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation Advancements for Spatial Disorientation Training.

Spatial disorientation (SD) remains the leading contributor to Class A mishaps in the U.S. Navy, consistent with historical trends.
