The motion along the basilar membrane in the cochlea is due to the interaction between the
micromechanical behaviour of the organ of Corti and the fluid movement in the scalae. By …

Purpose A probe that binds to unfixed collagen fibrils was used to image the shapes and
fibrous properties of the TM and BM. The probe (CNA35) is derived from the bacterial …

Micromixers are critical components in the lab-on-a-chip or micro total analysis systems
technology found in micro-electro-mechanical systems. In general, the mixing performance …

Residual hearing loss in cochlear implant users is investigated using the mechanical-human-
cochlear model. Hearing loss due to stiffening of the round window increases significantly as …

The frequency selectivity of a gerbil cochlea, unlike other mammals, does not depend on
varying thickness and width of its basilar membrane from the basal to the apical end. We …

The coupling efficiency of the slow-wave propagation mode along the cochlea was
investigated by evaluating the overlap integral of the acoustic field on two adjacent cross …

We investigated the dispersion characteristics of the propagation modes that progress on
the tectorial membrane (TM). Recent studies have uncovered complex TM behavior and a …

The mammalian cochlea is a highly sensitive transducer which converts acoustic vibration
into electrical signal. The acoustic vibration enters via the stapes and travels in the scala …
