  • VESTIBULAR STIMULATION CONTROL
    Publication number: 20220273952
    Abstract: A vestibular stimulation system comprises avestibular nerve stimulator that is configured to deliver electrical stimulation signals to the vestibular system of a recipient. The vestibular stimulation system includes avestibular evoked myogenic potential sensing arrangement that is configured to record, over a period of time following delivery of electrical stimulation signals to the recipient's vestibular system, muscle responses potentially representative of one or more vestibular evoked myogenic potentials. The recorded muscle responses are then used to control operation of the vestibular nerve stimulator (e.g., used to set one or more parameters of the electrical stimulation signals).
