"At a certain level and for all men," Comfort informs us, "girls, and parts of girls, are at this stimulus level unpeople".
The stimulus level in the external ear canal was 80±± 3 dB SPL.
Hypotheses concerning CAEP development were that the latency and amplitude input output functions would reflect immaturity in encoding stimulus level.
Accuracy, defined operationally as the proportion of variance in pain report explained by stimulus level, ranged from 0.07 to 0.91 with a median of 0.64.
In sensitivity experiments, the response is binary and each experimental unit has a critical stimulus level that cannot be observed directly.
The simulation results exhibit some of the characteristic nonlinear behavior of the basilar membrane commonly observed in experimental measurements, such as significant amplification and sustained "ringing" in the transient response at low stimulus level.
The DPOAE response amplitude was measured as a function of f2 frequency, with the f2/f1 ratio fixed at 1.2 at a fixed stimulus level (L1 = 65 dB SPL, L2 = 55 dB SPL).
The magnetic stimulus intensity at each stimulus level [expressed in percentage of the maximum stimulator output (% MSO)] increased from the threshold value in 5% steps up to 20% above the estimated threshold value.
Earphone DP amplitudes, in contrast, were highly sensitive to both stimulus and DP frequency (due to prominent resonances in the earphone's transfer function), and their levels grew more rapidly with increasing stimulus level than did cochlear DP amplitudes.
The question of linearity between the EEG response and stimulus level might also need clarification.
There should be a stimulus level which, if exceeded, will cause the brood item to die.
