Exposure details   Motile responses of cochlear outer hair cells stimulated with an alternating electrical field. by Kitani R, Kakehata S, Kalinec F published in: Hear Res 2011; 280 (1-2): 209 - 218 General information: three different stimulations protocols: i) singe frequency continous ii) single frequency bursts iii) 50 Hz - 4 kHz square wave sweeps Exposure 1: Main characteristics frequency: frequency not given signal form: rectangular Exposure setup exposure time pattern: continuous for 3 s chamber details: single OHCs were placed between two 0,25 mm--diameter electrodes with tip distance of 0,8 mm; cell's longitudial axis was kept parallel to the applied fields by rotating the recording chamber setup details: one electrode conntected to the ground, the other stimulated with square wave pulses of 4, 8, 12 or 16 V (peak-to-peak) add. information: only OHCs without any attachment to the surface of the recording chamber were used Exposure parameters no parameters specified for this exposure Exposure 2: Main characteristics frequency: 50 Hz signal form: rectangular Exposure setup exposure source/structure: same setup as in Exposure 1 exposure time pattern: single frequency bursts for 3 s add. information: burst characterisitc: 100 ms on, 100 ms off Exposure parameters no parameters specified for this exposure Exposure 3: Main characteristics frequency: 50 Hz Exposure setup exposure source/structure: same setup as in Exposure 1 exposure time pattern: linear sweeps for 3 s add. information: from 50 Hz to 4 kHz Exposure parameters no parameters specified for this exposure Return to general data Glossary: 50 Hz, burst, cell, electrode, exposure, frequency, kHz, linear, peak-to-peak, pulses, signal, square wave, stimulated
