| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Divers with leukoaraiosis, a common finding of brain MRI and a human factor causing traffic accidents and dangerous driving behaviors,were examined whether a transcranial direct current stimulator(tDCS)effected the driving performances as well as drivers without LA by means of a driving simulator (DS). At first, LA is significantly associated with DS sickness, especially when LA exists in both the frontal and parietal lobe. tDCS could reduce DS sickness, while driving performances evaluated by DS could not be improved. LA may be a useful tool to elucidate the mechanism of simulation sickness.
