I can control your balance I made a device that sends DC current through my head to stimulate my vestibular nerve (called galvanic vestibular stimulation or GVS) and, in doing so, can make me feel completely destabilised. By changing the direction of the current, it can make me fall... show more

There's actually a real world application for this. Imagine using this tech in space, but instead of a stick to control, it's a gyro always pointing at the floor in zero gravity so your body always orients correctly.

Can you use it to fix balance and walk a straight line while drunk?

Is this tournament legal? We'll check our rulebook. Seriously though, this is awesome.

Ahaha thanks so much!

now im wondering if we can hook this up to a vr headset to sync your eyes and inner ear ?>? i bet it oculd help with motion sickness

This uh might not be that great for your brain and stuff 🤷

Evil rich dudes seeing this video:

I used to do stuff like that. Quite safe as long as you keep the current density within limits, and you have current limiting in the drive electronics.

Literally frying your brain for fun and games?

Wow that's so fking cool. Hook it up to clawbot and let him control your movement. Would be a cool experiment. 🤣

You need to patent this immediately. It will be great for games, but more importantly, I could see some use for it in medicine, specifically in Parkinson's Disease treatment.

Holy shit don’t directly stimulate the vestibular nerve!!! I have first hand experience with damage to this delicate brain structure from a viral infection, luckily once doctors identified what was going on they were able to treat it with steroids and get me on the road to recovery, but full recovery took years and during the acute phase of symptoms, if they had not figured it out in less than a week I would have done my best to chuck myself out a high hospital window, it was pure hell on earth.

You are normalizing the most depraved totalitarian technology imaginable, delete this and do your best to make this illegal immediately. You know that CIA and co. are already way ahead on this *literal* mind control shit

wow this is wild, how uh…safe is it? were the flashing lights normal? 😅

I’ve seen this movie..

Pffftt.. if I wanna feel completely destabilised... I just drink a couple pints of Guinness... 🤣🤣🤣 Jokes aside... this is sick and I would love to see a bunch of creators, blindfolded, and running a maze controlled by team mates 🤣

this is so sick, applications are endless

is it possible to do this in the forward and backwards directions? , this would be a great solution for people with balance issues due to middle ear problems

Get 4 ppl 2 players, 2 “characters” Rig up current to arm muscles to force movement (right stick) and grip (left trigger/right trigger) Real life Gang Beasts/Human Fall Flat

Will you open source the project ? It looks amazing.

@citrusgirlpaige

The way you just accept the fall like 'welp, physics won today' is sending me. Remote control human is the most rediculous tech demo I've ever seen. 🤣

This is super cool Wonder if there is an application in Parkinson's or other similar aging diseases to help with walking and balance?

"Am I supposed to see flashing lights ?" "those flashing lights again!" @grok flashing lights?

This is the type of content and cool stuff I want to see more often. I love to see curiosity resurfacing.

This could be a medical device to help people that suffers from loss of balance

This is actually mind-blowing. It could change lives. Imagine using GVS to help people with balance issues like cerebellar ataxia stand and walk again. Non-invasively boosting brain signals for better stability. Studies are out already. Future of rehab? #BrainTech #AtaxiaAwareness

If fitted with a gyroscope, it should be able to unconsciously stabilize the body, which would likely be very beneficial for medicine.

We went from being MKUltra to "sign me up for MKUltra". It's over.

Oh my God i can finally have a truly immersive War thunder gameplay!

Can I ask what voltages or currents you were running at and if it is just straight DC proportional to the controller magnitude?

now what if you made this so that it activates on a gyroscope sensor when someone starts tipping over

TRACKMANIA RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
