Humans can adapt to a chronic electric stimulation of the vestibular nerve. Controlled smooth eye movements up to 3.5° peak to peak can be generated by modulation of the amplitude or the rate of the stimulation. This is in the range of compensatory eye movements registered during daily activities in healthy subjects. Functional benefit will be assessed by measuring the dynamic visual acuity in patients with a bilateral loss.
