How the vestibular system interacts with somatosensory perception: A sham-controlled study with galvanic vestibular stimulation

•Left anodal galvanic vestibular stimulation increased tactile sensitivity.•No effects induced by sham stimulation or right anodal galvanic vestibular stimulation.•Even brief (100 ms) pulses of vestibular stimulation enhanced somatosensory detection.•Vestibular projections in the right hemisphere mo...
