Infrared Thermography Measurements of Earbud Self-Heating in a Tissue-Mimicking Ear Phantom

This dataset contains infrared thermography temperature measurements acquired during experiments on the self-heating of a wireless earbud inserted into a tissue-mimicking ballistic-gelatin ear phantom. The data consist of three repeated measurement runs: m1.csv, m2.csv, and m3.csv, together with a readme.md file describing the dataset structure. Each CSV file contains time-resolved temperature data exported from the infrared camera software, including frame number, absolute time, relative time, and spatially averaged temperatures from two regions of interest. The first region of interest corresponds to the visible outer surface of the earbud, while the second region of interest corresponds to the ambient/reference block. The ambient-referenced earbud temperature rise can therefore be calculated as Box 1 [C] minus Box 2 [C]. These measurements support a study on an integrated experimental-computational electromagnetic-thermal framework for predicting the bioheat response of the human head to wearable wireless devices. The data can be used for analysis of transient earbud heating and cooling, inverse heat-transfer analysis, and calibration of simplified thermal models of device self-heating.
