Vestibular prosthesis: from basic research to clinics [PDF]
Balance disorders are highly prevalent worldwide, causing substantial disability with high personal and socioeconomic impact. The prognosis in many of these patients is poor, and rehabilitation programs provide little help in many cases.

An Implanted Vestibular Prosthesis Improves Spatial Orientation in Animals with Severe Vestibular Damage. [PDF]
Gravity is a pervasive environmental stimulus, and accurate graviception is required for optimal spatial orientation and postural stability. The primary graviceptors are the vestibular organs, which include angular velocity (semicircular canals) and ...

[Recent progress in vestibular prosthesis]. [PDF]
Bilateral vestibulopathy(BVP) is one of the common diseases in the vestibular nervous system, with an incidence rate of about 4%-7% in the population, which can lead to a variety of body dysfunctions. At present, there are two main treatment methods for BVP. One is vestibular rehabilitation.

Longitudinal performance of an implantable vestibular prosthesis. [PDF]
Loss of vestibular function may be treatable with an implantable vestibular prosthesis that stimulates semicircular canal afferents with biphasic pulse trains. Several studies have demonstrated short-term activation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) with electrical stimulation. Fewer long-term studies have been restricted to small numbers of animals

A CMOS Neural Interface for a Multichannel Vestibular Prosthesis. [PDF]
We present a high-voltage CMOS neural-interface chip for a multichannel vestibular prosthesis (MVP) that measures head motion and modulates vestibular nerve activity to restore vision- and posture-stabilizing reflexes. This application specific integrated circuit neural interface (ASIC-NI) chip was designed to work with a commercially available ...

One step closer to a functional vestibular prosthesis. [PDF]
To create a stable representation of the visual scene, the brain relies on information provided by the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. Two well studied examples of this are the vestibular-ocular reflex, which counter-rotates the eyes during head ...

A Low-Power ASIC Signal Processor for a Vestibular Prosthesis. [PDF]
A low-power ASIC signal processor for a vestibular prosthesis (VP) is reported. Fabricated with TI 0.35 μm CMOS technology and designed to interface with implanted inertial sensors, the digitally assisted analog signal processor operates extensively in the CMOS subthreshold region.

[Optimal design of neural modulation strategy of vestibular prosthesis]. [PDF]
Objective:To reveal the response characteristics of semicircular canal neurons(SCN) in the nonlinear perceptual interval, and to establish and screen out the precise SCN information coding model and function expression, which lays a foundation for the optimization and improvement of neuromodulation strategy of multichannel vestibular prosthesis. Method:

Alignment of angular velocity sensors for a vestibular prosthesis [PDF]
Vestibular prosthetics transmit angular velocities to the nervous system via electrical stimulation. Head-fixed gyroscopes measure angular motion, but the gyroscope coordinate system will not be coincident with the sensory organs the prosthetic replaces.
