Intracranial Waveguide, Resonance Cavity, and Cavitation Behavior

Abstract

Recent events suggest that the intracranial contents are vulnerable to energy exposures with spectral content in the audible and low" ultrasonic frequency range, which could include modulated signals on electromagnetic carriers. Quantitative video-oculographic diag"nostic technologies have also been useful for documenting early effects of these exposures in clinic and field conditions. This proposal focuses on 6.1 and 6.2 efforts to advance approaches for understanding biological vulnerabilities and detecting exposures. Base"d on experience in identifying acute mild traumatic brain injury, field deployment of the detection technology can minimize operatio"nal disruption by objectively discriminating affected individuals from the ~worried well~.
