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 and
stimulation designed to produce adaptive changes in the electrically elicited response. This
study is the first large consecutive series of implanted rhesus macaque to be studied …
