Better Sensory Potential. Powered by GVS.
At Neural Balance Innovations (NBI), we are committed to revolutionizing the potential of vestibular stimulation to improve everyday life through a multitude of innovative applications.
Discover how vestibular stimulation, for example, can revolutionize your virtual reality experience by reducing Cybersickness (CBK). By integrating this technology, we offer fluid, comfortable immersion, free from the inconvenience of virtual sickness and VR stimulator side effects. Dive into your virtual worlds with an enhanced sense of presence and optimal immersion.
Science VR Sickness Immersive VR stimulators
Stimbox® GVS
Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) device for reducing virtual sickness in virtual reality (VR).
The Stimbox® uses calibrated electrical white noise, validated by clinical tests, to induce gentle and non-intrusive stimulation of the vestibular nerve. This innovative approach ensures optimal tolerance and increased effectiveness in reducing virtual sickness.
Unique in the world, our intelligent calibration adapts in real time to each user. It smooths differences between individuals and even compensates for variations in the same user — fatigue, stress, increased sensitivity — to deliver, at every moment, a fluid, stable, and discomfort-free immersion.
Key Features
- • Complete autonomy: operates without a computer thanks to embedded programming
- • Safe GVS stimulation: precise control of intensity and frequency
- • Simple connectivity: USB-C port for charging and configuration
- • Compact and robust design: lightweight case with professional finish
- • Full stimulation protocol customization available during the study phase
Vestibular Stimulation
Discover the fascinating potential of vestibular stimulation, an emerging discipline that explores the interactions between the inner ear, the brain, and the body.
This often-overlooked stimulation offers a promising path to improve balance, coordination, and spatial perception. By understanding how vestibular signals influence our physical and mental well-being, we open the door to new therapeutic possibilities and sensory optimization.
Understanding cybersickness
Cybersickness, or 'virtual sickness', refers to the discomfort (nausea, dizziness, eye strain, disorientation) experienced when using VR headsets or simulators. Studies estimate that between 25% and 60% of users are affected. It results from a sensory conflict between what the eyes perceive, body position, and what the inner ear senses, amplified by personal factors such as vestibular sensitivity, fatigue, or stress.

The vestibular organ is located in the inner ear of the human body. Specifically, it consists of two main parts: the semicircular canals, which are responsible for detecting angular head movements, and the utricle and saccule, which detect linear accelerations and the position of the head relative to gravity. These structures are essential for maintaining balance, posture, and movement coordination.
