“…Vestibular and neck muscle spindle afferents could be variably stimulated by mastoid vibration, depending on the type of vibrator and the characteristics of the vibration stimuli (such as frequency, size of contact area, pressure over the contact area, battery-powered or AC-driven). Mastoid or skull vibration also induces variable amounts of eye movement, although mostly weak nystagmus, even in healthy subjects without SCD, depending on the area of vibration and type of vibrator [Aw et al, 2011; al. , 2007].…”
