Abstract

The present study investigated the feasibility of acquiring electroencephalography (EEG) data during self-motion in human subjects. Subjects performed a visual oddball task - designed to evoke a P3 event-related potential - while being passively moved in the fore-aft direction on a Stewart platform. The results of this study indicate that reliable EEG data can be obtained during self-motion on a Stewart platform: this finding is important for the ecological validity of further research into human motion.
