We recorded evoked potentials (EPs) from over the posterior fossa and in parallel ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (OVEMPs) during visuo-vestibular stimulation in a sample of 7 male and 11 female human subjects. In 9 of the 18 subjects we were able to record EPs reliably in the form of an early biphasic positive-negative wave with latencies ~12 and 17 ms ipsilateral to head acceleration direction (P12-N17) and a slightly later, contralateral, biphasic positive-negative wave with latencies ~19 and 23 ms (P19-N23). The amplitudes of the responses varied widely between subjects. Both P12 and N23 EPs were modulated by the mode of visual stimulation, larger for vection (sense of movement) compared with optokinetic nystagmus and for congruent movement. We suggest that the EPs measured over the posterior fossa are a manifestation of climbing fiber responses of cerebellar cortical Purkinje cells, i.e., a form of vestibular cerebellar EP (VsCEP). The two subject groups with and without VsCEPs were distinguished by the magnitude of their OVEMPs and their subjective experience of vection. The modulation of VsCEPs by visual context may be a manifestation of cerebellar control of linear vestibular ocular reflex gain.    NEW &amp; NOTEWORTHY We report likely vestibular cerebellar evoked potentials (VsCEPs) produced by lateral head impulses recorded in intact humans over the posterior fossa. VsCEPs occurred as short-latency P12-N17 waves ipsilateral to the direction of head motion and as P19-N23 contralaterally and were present in half our subjects. Their properties suggest that the VsCEPs may be of a climbing-fiber origin. VsCEPs are related to the perception of motion and, possibly, control of linear vestibular ocular reflex gain.
