The three tuning forks generally used include : 256 Hz, 512 Hz, 1024 Hz. Most common being 512Hz. 512 because It has appropriate decay time, Less overtones and lies in speech frequency. Compressing the prongs with fingers produces around 70 dB sound and hitting against Knee or elbow 90dB. A prediction of air-bone gap can be made if tuning forks of 256, 512 and 1024 Hz are used. • Rinne test equ...

The cerebral representation of the temporal envelope of sounds was studied in five normal-hearing subjects using functional magnetic resonance imaging. The stimuli were white noise, sinusoidally amplitude-modulated at frequencies ranging from 4 to 256 Hz. This range includes low AM frequencies (up to 32 Hz) essential for the perception of the manner of articulation and syllabic rate, and high A...

OBJECTIVE To determine if the manner in which a tuning fork is activated affects its vibrational response. STUDY DESIGN Diagnostic test assessment. SETTING Hearing Center of Excellence laboratory. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A Polytec OFV-5000 scanning vibrometer was used to measure the vibrational response of 256-Hz, 512-Hz, and 1024-Hz tuning forks after activation. The tuning forks were activ...

A new, compact UCLH Mk 2.5 EIT system has been developed and calibrated for EIT imaging of the head. Improvements include increased input and output impedances, increased bandwidth and improved CMRR (80 dB) and linearity over frequencies and load (0.2% on a single channel, +/-0.7% on a saline tank over 20 Hz-256 kHz and 10-65 Omega). The accuracy of the system is sufficient to image severe acut...

Introduction: Quantitative assessments of the effects induced by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are crucial to develop more efficient and personalized treatments. Objectives: To determine the spectral powers of different subbands of EEG correlated with treatment response to rTMS.   Materials and Methods: the spectral powers of different...

Mechanical calibration and traceability of seismometers in operating conditions are still a technical challenge, since very low-frequency ranges (below 0.1 Hz) involved, sensors under investigation generally heavy bulky. Recently, within the vibration metrology field, some pioneering works proposed to evaluate seismometers’ sensitivity by applying laboratory mechanical procedures, against prima...
