Specifically I'm trying to figure out what the resonant frequencies of a person's head/skull might be. Is there a way or established methods to do this? Are there any dangers to playing the resonant frequency of a person's head to them? =20 I'm hoping to do some investigations into whether the resonant characteristics of a person's body might interact with various acoustic perceptual judgments. Many thanks in advance for your responses.=20 =20 You are welcome to email me directly and I will post a summary of responses to the list next week.=20 =20 Cheers,=20 =20 Mike =20 =20 -- Dr. Michael S.
