The Pain Lab at CU Boulder, affiliated with the Institute of Cognitive Science, is seeking participants ages 21–70 for a research study with non-invasive wearable sensors.

You may be eligible if you have experienced back pain for the last three-plus months. Participants will be compensated up to $360.

If you're interested, fill out the eligibility screening form. We will contact you regarding your eligibility.

Please consider participating in our study, Advancing and Validating Galvanic Disorientation Simulation Trainer.

In this experiment, you will wear a galvanic vestibular stimulation headset. This system senses how you are tilted and stimulates your vestibular system with small amounts of electrical current through electrodes based behind your ears, near your forehand and back of your head. The system is intended to make you feel like an astronaut returning from spaceflight. During the experiment, you will perform tasks like reporting how you feel you are tilted, standing balance, walking or using a joystick to keep yourself upright in a chair.

You will be paid for the time you spend participating in this study.

If you have questions, would like additional information or are interested in participating, please respond via email. The principal investigator for this study is Torin Clark. You must be 18–65 years old to participate in this study.
