Today I met with Patrick (the same person who created the balancing robot -- see earlier post), who also works at the department of neuroscience at the Erasmus medical centre in Rotterdam. His area of research mainly focuses on our experience and perception of balance. By placing two electrodes on either side of my head, behind my ears, we stimulated a part of my brain responsible for these 'balance resposponses', to simluate the sensation of rotating my head.
