Abstract
In the Bárány test and in all the other similar methods of vestibular rotatory stimulation the nystagmic reaction is obtained by a sudden stop of the rotation, at different speeds. According to our knowledge on the cupular mechanism since the experiments of Steinhausen, Dohlman and others, the excitation of the cupula in a rotating movement results from the acceleration or deceleration of the rotation only.
