INVESTIGATION OF CHINCHILLA-VESTIBULAR SYSTEM RESPONSE TO VERTICAL LINEAR ACCELERATION.
Abstract
Electronystagnus measurement of vertical eyeball displacement was used to investigate chinchilla vestibular response to vertical sinusoidal accelerations which varied incrementally from 0.5 to 20 cps in frequency and from 0.5 to 3 g, peak-to-peak, in amplitude. Frequency diagrams, plotted from data obtained from seven animals, indicated that the magnitude of the response of the vestibular apparatus is a function of frequency and g level, but that the phase lag of the response is a function of frequency only. Within the experimental frequency and acceleration limits, no resonance phenomena or hysteresis effect of vestibular response was found. (Author)
