Abstract
BACKGROUND: Stimulating current distribution in the tissue is unknown due to the complex distribution.OBJECTIVE: A preliminary in vivo measurement of the magneto-acoustic (MA) signal of the human finger is performed in this study. The approach for locating the magneto-acoustic source of the stimulating current is studied.METHODS: We use a lock-in amplifier to measure the MA signal under continuous wave electrical stimulation. The phase of the MA signal is used to extract the location of the sonic source. The experimental system is designed to measure the MA signal under electrical stimulation.RESULTS: Preliminary experiments results show that the amplitude precision is improved to less than 1 Pa. The sonic source is located with millimetre precision.CONCLUSIONS: We propose a new MA source-locating method with high measurement and location precision. This method will be significant to the study of the imaging and monitoring of the current distribution of electrical stimulation with high precision.
