Skull vibration induced nystagmus, velocity storage and self-stability by Ian S. Curthoys, David S. Zee, Georges Dumas, Georges Dumas, Christopher J. Pastras, Julia Dlugaiczyk

“…The basis for this hypothesis is that vibration is a selective stimulus for vestibular neurons with irregular resting discharge. 100 Hz mastoid vibration, while capable of generating nystagmus (skull vibration induced nystagmus SVIN), is ineffective in generating afternystagmus (in the condition of an encased labyrinth) which is a marker of the action of the VSI, leading to the conclusion that irregular afferents bypass the indirect pathway and the VSI. …”
