Experiments on Acoustic-Stimulated Eye Movements

Experiments on Acoustic-Stimulated Eye Movements Abstract Performing 239 electronystagmographic recordings with rotating acoustical stimulation in persons with normal hearing and in deaf persons, we found the following. (1) There are large sinus-like eye deviations and a series of direction-changing beats, produced by following the acoustic stimuli with closed eyes. (2) In no case did we find any sign of a vestibular response to sound. The recorded eye movements to a certain extent are comparable to optokinetic nystagmus. (3) The audiokinetic eye movements seem to be useful for testing directional hearing. References 1.

Abstract

Abstract Performing 239 electronystagmographic recordings with rotating acoustical stimulation in persons with normal hearing and in deaf persons, we found the following. (1) There are large sinus-like eye deviations and a series of direction-changing beats, produced by following the acoustic stimuli with closed eyes. (2) In no case did we find any sign of a vestibular response to sound. The recorded eye movements to a certain extent are comparable to optokinetic nystagmus. (3) The audiokinetic eye movements seem to be useful for testing directional hearing. References 1.
