Traditionally the human vestibular system is tested by accelerations and decelerations in a rotating chair, stimulating the horizontal semicircular canals. This kind of testing provides no information about the performance or the two pairs of vertical (anterior and posterior) canals and the two pairs of otoliths. Testing the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) in its entirety requires rotations around the 3 axis of the head (yaw, pitch and roll) as well as rotations where the axis is not aligned with gravity. The data presented here are, to our knowledge, the first measurements of the VOR in normal humans obtained with 3-dimensional high resolution recording techniques.
传统上，人类前庭系统是通过转椅中的加速和减速来测试的，以刺激水平半规管。这种测试无法提供有关两对垂直（前和后）半规管以及两对耳石的性能信息。全面测试前庭眼反射（VOR）需要围绕头部的三个轴（偏航、俯仰和滚动）进行旋转，以及轴不与重力对齐的旋转。据我们所知，这里呈现的数据是首次使用三维高分辨率记录技术在正常人类中获得的VOR测量值。
