@kcdl

I'm afraid I can't let you post that, Dave.

[kcdl]

@sivius Damn it, could have sworn I turned off the microphone in that pod...

Has anyone here noticed that the under surface of the tectorial membrane is biophysical?

[monicatov]

I wonder if electromagnetic waves make this membrane/receptors/hairs also vibrate.

This would explain a few things

Thanks my physiology teacher tries to explain the material but struggles to explain it in a way thats understandable. This video really helped me understand the process.

[BF1]

@LeeDiddy990 actually this wasnt that good. It fails to explain the physiology of the ear completely.

Hmm I love the organ of corti

Actually, the height of the stereocilia gradually increases on each hair cell (Each new hair cell starts at the same base height, so not increasing infinitely). Think ATT Bars. How these cilia bend directs NT release... etc.

Thanks so much for posting this. My audiology teacher has tried, but he just can't seem to break this stuff down very well.
