The acoustic intensity absorption coefficient of tissue of the central nervous system has been determined at the sound frequency of 1 Mc/sec in the temperature range from 2° to 28°C at incident sound intensities ranging from 5 to 200 W/cm2. The absorption coefficient exhibits an increase with increasing temperature and no variation with the acoustic intensity.
