Given that tremor varies from person to person, it makes sense to try a range of values for the period from about 150Hz to about 250Hz.

I suspect you meant a period of 150mS to 250mS

I'm in the midst of trying to get a "cubby hole" built for our boxing class. Everyone tosses bags on the floors, old style gym lockers are too small, so I'm doing a little weekend wood working project. Taking longer than I realized as I hadn't been in the workshop for a couple of years. Great fun to actually have a fun project, but will get these knocked out of the way then back to the Emma.
