We all know that your visual field changing without your body moving can sometimes cause motion sickness. What I was wondering is if works the other way around also. If by using vestibular stimulation and your brain detects motion but the visual field remains unchanged will this cause motion sickness also? Furthermore, if you provide a matching visual stimuli while performing vestibular stimulation does this cause sickness as well?
I have never tried vestibular stimulation but it would be interesting to hear someone's experience of what they noticed in this regard. Just curious!
Feeling motion that you do not see is a common occurance experienced while indoors on a sailing vessel. It is called "sea sickness". It helps to be outdoors, veiwing the horizon, to prevent it.
So any oculo-vestibular dissonance will cause discomfort for many people.
There is a study to show that GVS (Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation) can be used to compensate for VR-induced motion sickness, greatly reducing such discomfort:
