TI  - Effects of isolated and combined exposures to whole-body vibration and noise on 
      auditory-event related brain potentials and psychophysical assessment.
PG  - 376-82
AB  - Auditory event-related brain potentials (ERP) in response to two different tone 
      stimuli (1.1 kHz or 1 kHz, 80 dB, 50 ms; given by headphones at a regular 
      interstimulus interval of 5 s with a probability distribution of 70:30) were 
      recorded from 12 healthy male subjects (Ss) during four different conditions with 
      two repetitions: A-60 dBA white noise (wN), no whole-body vibration (WBV); B-60 
      dBA wN plus sinusoidal WBV in the az-direction with a frequency of 2.01 Hz and 
      acceleration of 2 m.s-2 root mean square; C-80 dBA wN, no WBV; D-80 dBA wN plus 
      WBV. Each condition consisted of two runs of about 11 min interrupted by a break 
      of 4 min. During the break with continuing exposure, but without auditory 
      stimuli, Ss judged the difficulty of the tone-detection task and intensity of 
      noise by means of cross-modality matching (CMM). Vibration-synchronous activity 
      in the electrocardiogram was eliminated by a subtraction-technique. Noise caused 
      an attenuation of the N1 and P2 amplitudes and prolongation of P3 latencies. The 
      WBV did not cause systematic ERP effects. Condition B was associated with higher 
      N1 and smaller P3 amplitudes. The factor "condition" had a significant effect on 
      the peak latencies of P3 to target stimuli and the task difficulty judged by CMM. 
      Both effects exhibited significant linear increases in the sequence of conditions 
      A, B, C, D. For the evaluation of exposure conditions at work, it can be 
      suggested that noise has a strong systematic effect which can be enhanced by 
      WBV.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
