Vestibular disorders can cause severe problems including spatial
disorientation, imbalance, nausea, visual blurring, and even cognitive
deficits. The CLONS project is developing a closed-loop, sensory neural
prosthesis to alleviate these symptoms [1]. In this article, we outline the
different components necessary to develop this prosthetic. A short version of
this work was presented in the NEUREL 2010 [1]. Conceptually, the prosthesis
restores vestibular information based on inertial sensors rigidly affixed to
the user. These sensors provide information about rotational velocity of the
head; the prosthetic then transfers the information to the vestibular nerve
via electrical stimulation. Here we present a project overview, development
details, and summarize our progress in animal models and selected human
volunteers.
