Differences In Symptoms Among Adults With Canal Versus Otolith Vestibular Dysfunction: A Preliminary Report, Lisa Farrell, Rose Marie Rine
Differences In Symptoms Among Adults With Canal Versus Otolith Vestibular Dysfunction: A Preliminary Report, Lisa Farrell, Rose Marie Rine
Rose Marie Rine P.T., Ph.D.
Despite the importance of symptomatology in the diagnosis of vestibular dysfunction, the qualitative nature of the symptoms related to semicircular canal (canal) versus otolith dysfunction is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to compare symptoms, and their severity, in individuals with canal versus otolith peripheral vestibular dysfunction. A subjective tool, the Descriptive Symptom Index (DSI), was developed to enable categorization of symptoms as rotary, linear, imbalance or falls, and nondistinct. Fourteen adults were recruited and grouped based on vestibular function testing: canal only dysfunction, otolith only dysfunction, or canal and otolith dysfunction. Also, the Dizziness Handicap Inventory …

Individual Characteristics And Their Effect On Predicting Mu Rhythm Modulation, Adriane Randolph, Melody Jackson, Saurav Karmakar
Adriane B. Randolph
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer users with severe motor disabilities a nonmuscular input channel for communication and control but require that users achieve a level of literacy and be able to harness their appropriate electrophysiological responses for effective use of the interface. There is currently no formalized process for determining a user's aptitude for control of various BCIs without testing on an actual system. This study presents how basic information captured about users may be used to predict modulation of mu rhythms, electrical variations in the motor cortex region of the brain that may be used for control of a BCI. …

The Audiology Oath: A Survey Of Opinions And Current Practices., James Steiger
James R. Steiger
We surveyed audiologists and students to elicit opinions and information regarding the Audiology Oath. Fewer than half of respondents were aware of the oath. The oath was shared with all surveyed; over 85% of respondents agreed with the components of the oath and less than 13% offered changes. White coat and graduation ceremonies are considered appropriate for oath recitation. We hope that whenever the Audiology Oath is recited it will strengthen commitment to ethical practice.
