Dear all,
I am a PhD student with a solid-state physics background and am currently working with systems involving periodic structures of active acoustic resonators (- a topic completely tangential to this field indeed).
Long story short, I coincidentally stumbled upon an electron microscope image of the cochlea and couldn't help but notice the remarkable periodic structure of the outer hair cells. In solids (and other
crystal systems), it turns out that periodicity is key in understanding its conducting and insulating properties.
I was wondering if the periodicity of the hair cells been considered to explain phenomena such as tinnitus, tuning curves, nonlinearity, etc… If so, could anyone provide the relevant literature?
Thanks in advance!
With kind regards,
Mathieu Padlewski
