Description
Biological systems provide an incredible wealth of innovation as a result of evolutionary processes over multiple generations. Hearing organs are a good example of how similar sensory problems are solved in different, independent ways. Reverse engineering hearing systems best involves a multidisciplinary approach with scientists from fields such as: biology, electrical engineering, material sciences, and physics to name a few. Using our varied approaches, we characterize hearing systems from which novel microphones can be developed and deployed in consumer electronics.Period | 16 May 2018 |
