Legacy status: THEORETICAL

Technique Details

Tactic
QIF-S.HV
Status
THEORETICAL
Bands
I0

Therapeutic Application

Passive recording and analysis of vestibular-evoked responses (VEMPs, caloric responses) to profile an individual's balance system characteristics and susceptibility

Clinical Analog

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMP) testing

Treats

  • vestibular neuritis
  • Meniere's disease
  • superior canal dehiscence
  • benign paroxysmal positional vertigo

Neural Impact

1 of 7 neural bands affected

DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings

Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.

F45.8 Other Somatoform Disorders

Pathway: I0 (vestibular organ) → N1 (vestibular nerve) — profiling only, no direct disruption

Following Poldrack (2006), brain region disruption does not uniquely predict psychiatric outcomes.
