Adaptation to Steady-State Electrical Stimulation of the Vestibular System in Humans
Annals of Otology, Rhinology & Laryngology, 2011 Objectives: Efforts are being made toward the development of a vestibular implant. If such a device is to mimic the physiology of the vestibular system, it must first be capable of restoring a baseline or “rest” activity in the vestibular pathways and then modulating it according to the direction and velocity of

Unveiling Otolith Mystery: Contemporary Testing Approaches and Their Clinical Significance. [PDF]
World J Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck SurgABSTRACT Objective Otolith is a critical component of the peripheral vestibular system responsible for detecting linear acceleration. Dysfunction of the otolith organs can lead to vertigo, balance disturbances, and gaze instability. By elucidating the physiological foundations and evaluating both current and emerging methods for assessing otolith ...

The vestibular implant: A probe in orbit around the human balance system
Journal of Vestibular Research, 2017 The primary goal of the vestibular implant is to restore the vestibular function in patients with a disabling bilateral vestibular loss for whom there is currently no available treatment. The prototype developed by our team is a hybrid system consisting of a modified cochlear implant incorporating additional vestibular electrodes.
