Thanks for the papers, they're very helpful! And yeah, as I said, the ethics people are needlessly pedantic about this, and won't take evidence from other studies as proof that our experiment will not be harmful. But I guess I have to work with the ethics commission that is given to me :wink...
Wow, thank you all for your answers! :)
That sounds like a good idea! Concerning the falloff: So the sound source I use does not have to produce the same sound pressure as is experienced inside the MRI tube? And how do I calculate the falloff then? Just as the difference in dB at the two ends...
Hello,
excuse me if these happen to be basic questions, but I'm a psychologist/neuroscientist in training without any particular experience in physics, and I am just confronted with a very specific problem.
I need to measure the sound pressure experienced inside of an MRI scanner...
