Main outcome of study (acc. to author)
The data demonstrate that microwavepulses can generate measurable acoustic pressures in spherical models of human and animal heads. In addition, they show that appropriately selected pulse repetition frequencies stimulate acousticresonances that can elevate the microwave-inducedacoustic pressure by severalfold. The agreement between calculated and measured frequencies of acoustic pressure waves lend further support to the thermoelastic mechanism of interaction.
