Author: Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy August 15, 2019 Duration: 31:26
Motion or travel sickness is as old as the various types of motion that cause it. "Visually Induced Motion Sickness (VIMS) is a sensation very similar to traditional motion sickness, with the difference being that physical movement is usually limited or absent during VIMS" ( Keshavarz, 2014)

In today's show, host Host Puneet Dhaliwal, PT, DPT, NCS is joined by Dr Beharang Keshavarz, PhD an eminent scientist to share his expertise in causes and characteristics of Visually Induced Motion Sickness.  

Dr. Keshavarz, a Scientist at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute–University Health Network and an adjunct professor at the Department of Psychology at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada. He received his PhD in cognitive and experimental psychology from the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany. Dr. Keshavarz’s research focuses on human perception and performance in virtual environments, with particular emphasis on preventing adverse effects such as nausea and disorientation related to visually induced motion sickness. In addition, his research explores the neurocognitive and behavioral aspects of self-motion perception (vection) in virtual reality applications and investigates methods to increase driving safety in younger and older drivers.
