Tactile localization of acoustic stimuli with an earmold vibratrory aid

This study examines the tactile localization of sound sources utilizing an earmold vibratory hearing aid.

Acoustic reflex measurements in normals and Meniere's Syndrome using pulsed stimuli

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum rate the acoustic reflex can follow pulsed stimuli in normal hearing subjects and in subjects with Meniere's Syndrome.

Recognition of temporarily modified speech stimuli

This paper studies the relationship between consonant duration and recognition of these consanants by listeners with high frequency hearing loss.

Habituation of the immobility response of guinea pigs to auditory stimuli

This paper discusses the development of a method to measure the habituation of the immobility response of guinea pigs.

Cross-modality temporal resolution for auditory, vibrotactile, and visual stimuli

This paper reviews a study of cross-modalities and within-modalities and their effects on speech perception.

Acoustic reflex measurements in normals and Meniere's Syndrome using pulsed stimuli

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum rate the acoustic reflex can follow pulsed stimuli in normal hearing subjects and in subjects with Meniere's Syndrome.

The slow cortical evoked potential: cross modality interaction of auditory, vibro-tactile and shock stimuli

This paper discusses a study that collected cortical evoked responses when stimuli of different modalities were presented.

The EU's Promotion of External Democracy: In search of the plot. CEPS Policy Brief No. 281, 13 September 2012

This policy brief illustrates that both the conceptualisation of democracy and the means to achieve it remain vague, and explains why this is problematic. It points out the risks that stem from a lack of clear understanding about how human rights, governance, civil society and socio-economic development relate to democratisation. It concludes that the EU should reflect on the substance of its external democracy promotion policies and conceptualise the relationship between the different elements of democracy promotion cited above and democratisation. While ongoing reforms of international democracy promotion should continue, a wider debate on substance could help identify what the EU should support in the future. The EU should also establish a reflective external democracy promotion policy where the assessment of actions on democratic development becomes systematic and is institutionalised.
