In the majority of these studies, researchers use linear systems analysis or linear approximations of the nonlinear (NL) systems. Even though it has been clear that the intact cochlea operates nonlinearly, lack of tools for proper nonlinear analysis, and widely available tools for linear analysis still lead to inefficient and possibly incorrect interpretation of the biophysics of the cochlea. An example is the presumption that a change in cochlear stiffness at hair cell level must account for the observed change in tuning (or frequency mapping) due to prestin application. Hypotheses like this need to be addressed in a tutorial that is lucid enough to analyze and explain basic differences. Cochlear Mechanics presents a useful and mathematically justified/justifiable approach in the main part of the text, an approach that will be elucidated with clear examples. The book will be useful to scientists in auditory neuroscience, as well as graduate students in biophysics/biomedical engineering.NeurosciencesOtorhinolaryngologyBiophysicsBiological physicsBiomedical engineeringNeuroscienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B18006Otorhinolaryngologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H46007Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T2700XNeurosciences.Otorhinolaryngology.Biophysics.Biological physics.Biomedical engineering.Neurosciences.Otorhinolaryngology.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.571.4610610.28612.8Duifhuis Hendrikusauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1476316BOOK9910787703103321Cochlear Mechanics3690891UNINA03693nam 2201141z- 450 991058021380332120220706(CKB)5690000000011950(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/87455(oapen)doab87455(EXLCZ)99569000000001195020202207d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCreating Age-friendly CommunitiesHousing and TechnologyBaselMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (228 p.)3-0365-4400-3 3-0365-4399-6 The "Creating Age-friendly Communities: Housing and Technology" publication presents contemporary, innovative, and insightful narratives, debates, and frameworks based on an international collection of papers from scholars spanning the fields of gerontology, social sciences, architecture, computer science, and gerontechnology.
