Angular velocity data and the response to low-frequency bone-conducted vibration for an anterior semicircular canal unit. (Bottom panel) Neural activation by angular acceleration, identifying the afferent is a canal neuron. (Top Panel) Response of the same unit to bone-conducted vibration at 200 (left) and 150 Hz (right). As stimulus frequency is decreased the neuron shows increased firing—at 200 Hz there is a modest response during the stimulus but at 150 Hz there is a strong increase in firing tightly locked to the onset and offset of the brief stimulus.
