- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The link between frequency tuning and tinnitus will be tested by comparing the size and response magnitude of the auditory cortex regions that show tuning to the patient’s specific tinnitus frequency vs. regions that show tuning to the other (non-tinnitus) frequencies. In this way, patients can serve as their own controls, in addition to matching healthy controls.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Furthermore, anatomical features (measures of myelin content and cortical thickness) will be assessed in the same regions of interest as mentioned in the primary outcome.
