Abstract
An apparatus and method for analyzing visual and vestibular responses of a subject. One or more targets undergoing slow random motion are presented to the subject while the head of the subject is simultaneous perturbed with perturbations statistically uncorrelated with the random motion of the target. The response of the motion of the head of the subject and the motion of the subject's eyes is measured and the visual and vestibular system response dynamics are estimated based on the measured response.
