Abstract

How the performance of autonomic physiological, and human vestibular network (HVN)-based brain functional connectivity (BFC) features differ in a virtual reality (VR) sickness classification task is underexplored. Therefore, this paper presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-aided comparative study of the two. Results from different AI models all show that autonomic physiological features represented by the combined heart rate, fingertip temperature and forehead temperature are superior to HVN-based BFC features represented by the phase-locking values of inter-electrode coherence (IEC) of electroencephalogram (EEG) in the same VR sickness condition (that is, as a result of experiencing tunnel travel-induced illusory self-motion (vection) about moving in-depth in this study). Regarding EEG features per se (IEC-BFC vs traditional power spectrum), we did not find much difference across AI models.
