Author Correction: Contralateral bone conducted sound wave propagation on the skull bones in fresh frozen cadaver

The study aimed to investigate the efficient pathway for BC sound transmission by measuring vibrations on the opposite side of the skull bone, referred to as the mastoid position. The realistic contralateral transmission pathway of bone conduction (BC) vibrations is investigated through each osseous structure in the midlines of the fresh-frozen whole head. BC stimulation is applied to the mastoid using a bone vibrator, and acceleration responses are observed on the contralateral mastoid bone and seven midline points of skull bones using triaxial accelerometers. The study finds that the range showing the highest contralateral transmission efficiency of bone vibration is the intermediate frequency range with contralateral direction. Within this range, a significant amplitude of acceleration response is measured at the face-side points and the back and upper parts of the head. The thesis suggests that signal transmission from the specific midline to the mastoid can be more efficient than the conventional configuration of BC from the mastoid to the mastoid.
