Magnetic Vestibular Stimulation in Subjects with Unilateral Labyrinthine Disorders

Magnetic Vestibular Stimulation in Subjects with Unilateral Labyrinthine Disorders

We recently discovered that static magnetic fields from high-strength MRI machines induce nystagmus in all normal humans, and that a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Lorentz force, derived from ionic currents in the endolymph and pushing on the cupula, best explains this effect. Individuals with no labyrin...
