Technique Details

Tactic
QIF-N.MD
Status
THEORETICAL
Bands
I0, N1, N2, N3

Therapeutic Application

Disrupting the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) arc via targeted vestibular stimulation to cause nystagmus, oscillopsia, or gaze instability

Clinical Analog

VOR rehabilitation / caloric testing

Treats

  • vestibular hypofunction
  • bilateral vestibulopathy
  • oscillopsia
  • post-surgical vestibular adaptation

Neural Impact

4 of 7 neural bands affected

DSM-5-TR Diagnostic Mappings

Diagnostic category references for threat modeling, not diagnostic claims.

F41.1 Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Pathway: I0 (vestibular organ) → N1 (vestibular nerve) → N3 (vestibular nuclei) → N2 (oculomotor nuclei) → VOR arc

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