Although driving simulators are crucial for further improvements in transportation, it is important to resolve one of their main disadvantages\u2013simulator sickness. Therefore, suitable methods for the assessment of simulator sickness are required. The main aim of this paper was to present a non-invasive method for assessing simulator sickness by recording gastric myoelectrical activity\u2013electrogastrography. Open-source hardware for electrogastrography together with recordings obtained in 13 healthy volunteers is presented, and the main aspects of signal processing for artifact cancellation and feature extraction were discussed. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that slow-wave electrical gastric activity can be recorded during driving simulation by following adequate recommendations and that proposed features could be beneficial in describing non-ordinary electrogastrography signals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19143175","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,19]],"date-time":"2019-07-19T03:14:41Z","timestamp":1563506081000},"page":"3175","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Lessons Learned: Gastric Motility Assessment During Driving Simulation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Nenad B.","family":"Popovi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade 11000, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3933-6076","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadica","family":"Miljkovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade 11000, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Stojmenova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Grega","family":"Jakus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Milana","family":"Prodanov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, University of Belgrade, Belgrade 11000, Serbia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaka","family":"Sodnik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana 1000, Slovenia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"179","DOI":"10.5014\/ajot.2011.000802","article-title":"Driving simulator sickness: An evidence-based review of the literature","volume":"65","author":"Classen","year":"2011","journal-title":"Am.
