Progress toward development of a multichannel vestibular prosthesis for treatment of bilateral vestibular deficiency. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken), 2012 AbstractThis article reviews vestibular pathology and the requirements and progress made in the design and construction of a vestibular prosthesis. Bilateral loss of vestibular sensation is disabling. When vestibular hair cells are injured by ototoxic medications or other insults to the labyrinth, the resulting loss of sensory input disrupts vestibulo ...

A field-programmable analog array development platform for vestibular prosthesis signal processing. [PDF]
IEEE Trans Biomed Circuits Syst, 2013 We report on a vestibular prosthesis signal processor realized using an experimental field programmable analog array (FPAA). Completing signal processing functions in the analog domain, the processor is designed to help replace a malfunctioning inner ear sensory organ, a semicircular canal. Relying on angular head motion detected by an inertial sensor,

Head movements evoked in alert rhesus monkey by vestibular prosthesis stimulation: implications for postural and gaze stabilization. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The vestibular system detects motion of the head in space and in turn generates reflexes that are vital for our daily activities. The eye movements produced by the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) play an essential role in stabilizing the visual axis (gaze),

Interactions between Auditory and Vestibular Modalities during Stimulation with a Combined Vestibular and Cochlear Prosthesis [PDF]
Audiology and Neurotology, 2020 Background: A combined vestibular and cochlear prosthesis may restore hearing and balance to patients who have lost both. To do so, the device should activate each sensory system independently.

Restoration of 3D vestibular sensation in rhesus monkeys using a multichannel vestibular prosthesis. [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2011 Profound bilateral loss of vestibular hair cell function can cause chronically disabling loss of balance and inability to maintain stable vision during head and body movements. We have previously shown that chinchillas rendered bilaterally vestibular-deficient via intratympanic administration of the ototoxic antibiotic gentamicin regain a more nearly ...

Vestibular prosthesis tested in rhesus monkeys. [PDF]
Annu Int Conf IEEE Eng Med Biol Soc, 2011 We are studying the effectiveness of a semicircular canal prosthesis to improve postural control, perception of spatial orientation, and the VOR in rhesus monkeys with bilateral vestibular hypofunction. Balance is examined by measuring spontaneous sway of the body during quiet stance and postural responses evoked by head turns and rotation of the ...

A Vestibular Prosthesis With Highly-Isolated Parallel Multichannel Stimulation
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems, 2015 This paper presents an implantable vestibular stimulation system capable of providing high flexibility independent parallel stimulation to the semicircular canals in the inner ear for restoring three-dimensional sensation of head movements.

Restoring vestibular function during natural self-motion: Progress and challenges [PDF]
eLifeThe vestibular system is integral to behavior; the loss of peripheral vestibular function leads to disabling consequences, such as blurred vision, dizziness, and unstable posture, severely limiting activities of daily living.
