Reduction of Motion Side Effects and After Effects

"BioSentient Corporation proposes the use of a proven method of non-pharmacologic physiologic self-regulation to delay the onset and decrease the symptoms of motion sickness and mitigate any concomitant cognitive degradation. The method, NASA patentedAutogenic Feedback Training Exercise-- Method & System (AFTE - M&S), has been shown to significantly improve performance on Coriolis Sickness Susceptibility Index tests and successfully combated intractable airsickness in US Navy high performance aircraftpilots. AFTE -M&S shows significant potential in improving situational awareness. The equipment measures, records and displays real-time data independently to the wearer and researcher.AFTE -M&S consists of a NASA patented system of compact, wearable equipment to measure, display and control physiologic responses to motion using the information feedback from the equipment. The learned voluntary control is retained and can be called uponwhen not wearing the equipment.Under this grant proposal BioSentient will: (A) build a brass-board ambulatory equipment prototype that integrates recent solid-state memory, computational and power advances. This will decrease the dimensions and weight of the equipment and increase itsmemory and calculation capacity and battery life; (B) outline a method adapted from existing protocols to train Special Operations Forces personnel using AFTE - M&S to mitigate motion sickness.
