- The objective of this thesis was to quantify three-dimensional ocular stability
in response to head movements in healthy human subjects and in patients
with various types of peripheral vestibular disorders. Despite a large increase
in our knowledge from animal and human studies about the neuronal circuitry
that regulates three-dimensional (3D) vestibular organization (for a recent
review see Angelaki and Cullen 2008), its application to clinical practice is still
a long way ahead. In order to bridge this gap, we explored in heal
