✦ Synopsis

Developments in the field of nonlinear dynamics has given us a new conceptual framework for understanding the mechanisms involved in the regulation of complex nonlinear systems. This concept, called "chaos" or "deterministic chaos," has been applied to EKG, EEG, and other physiological signals, but not yet to the ENG signal. The underlying geometrical structure in chaotic dynamics is fractal (noninteger dimension), and calculating the fractal dimension of the electronystagmographic recording from caloric testing gave a dimension ranging from 3.3 to 7.7. This result demonstrates that the multidimensional vestibular system, with its numerous neurological pathways, can somehow reduce the degrees of freedom and give rise to an irregular dynamic low-dimensional behavior, which is associated with deterministic chaos.
