👂 Cochlea & Hearing — Unrolled Basilar Membrane (2D)

2D Canvas simulation of the unrolled human cochlea: a Greenwood-function tonotopic map and a Békésy travelling-wave envelope on the basilar membrane, with adjustable frequency, a second tone, and a hearing-loss region.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas simulation of the unrolled human cochlea, showing the Greenwood-function tonotopic frequency map and a Bekesy travelling-wave envelope on the basilar membrane. Adjust the input frequency, add a second tone, and toggle a hearing-loss region to see how pitch is coded by place along the membrane.
