Abstract

Background: Self-motion perception involves the integration of vestibular, visual, somatosensory and other sensory cues. The neural responses to caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) in humans have been investigated with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). New method: We developed an fMRI-compatible, bithermal caloric stimulation device for repeated CVS. Tempered water is pumped via a ...
