Abstract
Postural sway was elicited in human Ss using various combinations of low frequency-low amplitude sinusoidal electrical stimulation at the mastoid processes. Amount of sway was a V-shaped function of the stimulus frequency at low amplitude and an inverted V function at the higher amplitude. Amplitude-frequency combinations optimal for eliciting overall sway were different from those most suitable for use in conditioning.
