Hi,
I am currently doing a master where i stimulate the brain with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulations over the genioglossus muscle motor cortex. The upper airways are often compared to a Starling resistor. Since it is a tube i suppose there is a frequency that would optimize a repetitive stimulation to increase the amount of the contraction from stimulation to stimulation.. just like with harmonics. I searched pubmed/google to find harmonics-like properties of soft-tissues but havn't found anything... all i find is about an harmonic imaging technique. Someone have a clue if some papers exist on this specific subject?
Thank you very much
P.S. Sorry for my english i am french native.
