Abstract
The roles of the otolith, somatosensory and visual detection mechanisms in determining the threshold [in man] were discussed. Most threshold data for oscillation at frequencies below 1 Hz reflect otolith and somatosensory detection, and show a falling threshold as the frequency rises. This is in accord with neurophysiological data of otolith and somatosensory function. The data for frequencies above 1 Hz reflect an unknown mix of visual, otolith and somatosensory influences. These data are too heterogenous to indicate whether threshold rises or falls as the frequency of stimulation increases.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
