Bone conduction (BC) stimulation can be applied by vibration to the bony or skin covered
skull (osseous BC), or on soft tissue such as the neck (non-osseous BC). The interaction
between osseous and non-osseous bone conduction pathways is assessed in this study.
The relation between bone vibrations measured at the cochlear promontory and the
intracranial sound pressure for stimulation directly on the dura and for stimulation at the
mastoid between 0.2 and 10 kHz was compared. First, for stimulation on the dura, varying …
