In a series of experimental investigations, we have explored using galvanic vestibular stimulation to enhance human perception and performance, particularly relevant for astronauts and pilots of high ...

Remote-Controlled Humans Electrically stimulating the vestibular nerve can influence human movement – and may create better virtual-reality devices and prosthetics.

Earlier this month, however, scientists inserted the first vestibular implants into human patients, hopefully allowing external motion detectors to compensate for existing damage.

Lopez said that while a faulty vestibular system is "not the only explanation for out-of-body experiences," it might be reassuring to some to know that a mechanical explanation could be at play.

Assuming that vestibular neuritis is the result of a viral or postviral inflammation of the vestibular nerve, treatment aimed at stopping the inflammation has been proposed.

However, as detailed in the July 2011 issue of the journal Experimental Brain Research, the Max Planck team thinks the brain's vestibular (balance-maintaining) and propioceptive (body awareness ...

WebMD explains the causes, symptoms, and treatment of vertigo, a sensation of spinning that is related to problems with the inner ear.

People with vestibular hypofunction have difficulty in places like busy streets or train stations where the overwhelming visual information may cause them to lose balance or be anxious or dizzy.

Vestibular neuritis is the second most common cause of peripheral vestibular vertigo. Its assumed cause is a reactivation of herpes simplex virus type 1 infection. Therefore, corticosteroids, antiv ...
