🧪 3D Ear Hearing Cochlea

3D simulation of hearing and cilia waveforms – a running wave along the basilar membrane showing how sound frequency is coded by location of maximum response (tonotopic map).

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation demonstrates how the cochlea in the human ear processes sound waves. Users can adjust frequencies and observe the corresponding vibrations within the cochlea, illustrating the mechanics of hearing.
