Introduction: Understanding the physiology of the caloric stimulation of the vestibular end organ was a seminal discovery in the history of neurotology. Robert Barany has been traditionally credited with this (1906). However, well before Barany, three scientists observed, qualified and quantified a similar phenomenon with different explanations. They were Charles Edouard Brown Sequard (1858), A Bornhardt (1876) and Benno Baginsky (1881).
