There's a new device out that works in a similar manner to the seaband by stimulating the median nerve in the wrist. Its called the ReliefBand. It differs from the seaband in the fact it stimulates the nerve using electrical impulses, instead of just applying pressure. It is fairly expensive though, and i'm looking at building a cheap imitation which should do exactly the same thing. Reviews and online ordering can be found at www.avweb.com and www.aeromedix.com

PS U2, I too suffer from airsickness when I fly prolonged sequences of steeps turns and high G. This was especially a problem when I was a teenager and flew gliders. After 20-30 mins of thermalling I would feel too sick to continue and have to return to the circuit.
BTW Roller Merlin, how did they monitor the response times? Via electrcal contacts? And how would I contact AVMED? Thanks in advance, Rip.
