A Spider-Web Sensor Moves Toward the Ear Canal
A five-year, $1.84 million NIH project will combine particle-velocity and pressure sensing to detect faint cochlear emissions.
Summary
A five-year, $1.84 million NIH project will combine particle-velocity and pressure sensing to detect faint cochlear emissions.
The Binghamton-led team plans a prototype followed by participant testing. The device is inspired by how webs move with air, but it has not yet demonstrated earlier or more precise diagnosis.
Why it matters
A five-year, $1.84 million NIH project will combine particle-velocity and pressure sensing to detect faint cochlear emissions.
Limits and context
