Ruggedized Instrumentation Package for Marine Mammal Evoked Potential Hearing Measurements (DURIP). Annual Report

摘要

Long range goals of this program are to examine the hearing of as many marine mammals and species as possible in order to develop an understanding of the normal hearing capabilities of marine mammals and to advance the technology for testing hearing in the laboratory and the field. The objective is to build a rugged field-ready portable battery-operated system to use to measure the hearing capabilities of marine mammals in the lab, on ships, on the beach or wherever we have the opportunity.
