Effect of coronal plane tilt on cat caloric nystagmus responses.
The nystagmus slope responses to vestibular stimuli are strongly dependent on eye position, while the frequency responses shift predictably and are relatively independent of the eye position. Spurious directional differences may be introduced in nystagmus slope parameters by small tilts in the roll plane in comparison to the more predictable frequency responses.
