Abstract:Caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS) and galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) act primarily on the peripheral vestibular system. Although the electrical current applied during GVS is thought to flow through peripheral vestibular organs, some current may spread into areas within the central nervous system, particularly when the bilateral galvanic vestibular stimulation (bGVS) method is used. According to Alexander's law, the magnitude of nystagmus increases with eccentric gaze movement, due to the function of … Show more
