The most prominent problem in virtual reality (VR) technology is that users may experience motion-sickness-like symptoms when they immerse into a VR environment. These symptoms are recognized as visually induced motion sickness (VIMS) or virtual reality motion sickness. The objectives of this study were to investigate the association between the electroencephalogram (EEG) and subjectively rated VIMS level (VIMSL) and find EEG markers for VIMS evaluation. A VR-based vehicle-driving simulator was used to induce VIMS symptoms, and a wearable EEG device with four electrodes (the Muse) was used to collect EEG data. The results suggest that individual tolerance, susceptibility, and recoverability to VIMS varied largely among subjects; the following markers were shown to be significantly different from no-VIMS and VIMS states (
