Abstract
Cochlear mechanics is a field that relies strongly on fluid mechanics, linear and nonlinear signal processing, and additional mathematical tools. This is applied to a biological structure. A selection of useful—and possibly superfluous—prerequisites is presented in Appendix 8. Throughout, terminology and unit definitions follow the ANSI (2005) standard acoustical terminology.
