EXHIBIT OF DIVER COMMUNICATION RESEARCH SYSTEM (DICORS).

Abstract

A Diver Communication Research System (DICORS) was the primary focus of two recent exhibits presented by Communication Sciences Laboratory. In addition to a fully equipped DICORS (including a mannequin which represented a diver/subject), the exhibit included displays ranging from underwater communication equipment and response units to a slide-show and photographs of facilities, equipment and procedures. A final display demonstrated the applicability of DICORS by presenting data from three studies representative of the research now underway, i.e., research on (1) underwater hearing thresholds, (2) comparative evaluation of underwater communication systems and (3) speech intelligibility in the milieu of helium-oxygen mixtures and high ambient pressure.
