AbstractThe vestibular system is responsible for our sense of balance and spatial orientation. Recent studies have shown the possibility of partially restoring the function of this system using vestibular implants. Electrical modeling is a valuable tool in assisting the development of these implants by analyzing stimulation effects. However, previous modeling approaches of the vestibular system assumed quasi-static conditions. In this work, an extended modeling approach is presented that considers the reactive component of impedance and the electrode-tissue interface and their effects are investigated in a 3D human vestibular computer model. The Fourier finite element method was employed considering the frequency-dependent electrical properties of the different tissues. The electrode-tissu...
