[An improved and practical electrogustometer].
Basic considerations in the construction of an electrogustometer led to the use of electronically regulated equipment. The changing body resistence is automatically regulated, but the electric voltage of 220 volts AC necessitated special precautions. The decibel scale as proposed by Tomita seems the most convenient. The range of stimulation of 3-318 muA and the 4 dB current increment, which is regarded as the lowest pathological difference between the thresholds of the two sides of the tongue, made this equipment in practice very convenient.
