ABSTRACT

We show here and obtained bioelectrical response based on the angular stimulation technique, but using the methodology for electronystagmography with caloric stimulation. We have worked with 36 adults, not showing eitherotologic pathologies or alterations in previous vestibular study.

The results shown a response during the first 20 ms, with a series of five positive waves (P), alternate with four negative waves (N). We find a latency values response margin ranging from about 2 to 17 ms

Due to the fact that we have carefully prevented the results were polluted by another registers, we think the response may tally with some activity generated by the vestibular nerve.
