Objective and subjective evaluations of the Nurotron Venus cochlear implant system via animal experiments and clinical trials.

abstract：CONCLUSIONS:These findings are in line with previous data on the horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) from this laboratory and suggest that eye position signals do not modulate natural vestibular responses. Hence, the Alexander's law (AL) phenomenon cannot be interpreted simply as a consequence of vestibular or ocu...
