Théorique, numérique Description
Our group has recently developed a numerical model of cochlea—the auditory organ of the inner ear—which is based on a string coupled critical oscillators that are organized according to the frequency map of the cochlea. The objective of the traineeship will be to study how coherent reflections of the traveling waves within the cochlea may give rise to active sound emissions by the ear, called oto-acoustic emissions, which are well characterized experimentally, used as a noninvasive screening test for deafness, but still poorly understood.
