Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...
Schematic of the model. Above, we unroll the spiral-shaped cochlea into a model of two fluid-filled chambers partitioned by the basilar membrane (BM). Pressure waves in the fluid are accompanied by BM ...
The outer ear or external ear is the visible portion of the ear which serves as a protective organ for the eardrum. It gathers and controls sound waves into the middle ear. Ear Flap (Pinna) – The ...
The inner ear may not seem like a particularly bony place, but human ears in fact have three small bones (also known as ossicles): the malleus, the incus and the stapes. While most people would assume ...
Even though the tiny water creatures and humans would appear to have nothing in common, the structure and function of the hair cells on zebrafish skin are nearly identical to cochlear hair cells found ...
Rachael has a degree in Zoology from the University of Southampton, and specializes in animal behavior, evolution, palaeontology, and the environment. There are so many variations to the human ear ...
While the term “high cholesterol” is usually associated with health problems, there is at least one way in which most people would prefer to have high cholesterol: In their inner ear, so that they ...
By applying existing mathematical models to a generic mock-up of a cochlea—a spiral-shaped organ in the inner ear—the ...
