N2 - Following success in recording short latency vestibular evoked potentials in experimental animals, we have succeeded in our attempts to record such potentials in human subjects. The stimuli were repetitive, short steps of high intensity angular acceleration (10,000 degrees/sec2) with short rise times which would synchronously activate many neurons of the vestibular pathway. Stringent control procedures ensured that the recorded activity was not an artefact. Short latency vestibular evoked potentials were recorded in 10 normal subjects with peak latencies of 3.5, 6.0 and 8.4 msec and amplitudes of 0.5 microV. Middle latency potentials were also recorded with latencies of 8.8, 18.8 and 26.8 msec and amplitudes of 15 microV. These responses were absent in a cadaver and in patients with bilateral dead labyrinths. In normal subjects, these vestibular evoked potentials were not affected by white noise. In conclusion, short and middle latency vestibular evoked potentials were recorded in normal human subjects.
