Popis: Approximately one third of the population is prone to motion sickness (MS), which is associated with the dysfunction in the integration of sensory inputs. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) has been widely used to modulate neurological functions by affecting neural oscillation. However, it has not been applied in the treatment of motion sickness. This study aims to investigate changes in brain oscillations during exposure to MS stimuli and to further explore the potential impact of tACS with the corresponding frequency and site on MS symptoms. A total of 19 subjects were recruited to be exposed to Coriolis stimuli to complete an inducing session. After that, they were randomly assigned to tACS stimulation group or sham stimulation group to complete a stimulation session. Electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiogram, and galvanic skin response were recorded during the experiment. All the subjects suffering from obvious MS symptoms after inducing session were observed that alpha power of four channels of parieto-occipital lobe significantly decreased (P7: t =3.589, p
