Technocratic model of the human auditory system

TL;DR

This paper presents a technocratic model of the human auditory system, emphasizing the cochlea's shape and structure as key to understanding sound analysis and amplification, leading to a realistic wave-based model.

Contribution

It introduces a novel wave model of the auditory system based on the cochlea's shape and physical processes, advancing the scientific understanding of hearing mechanisms.

Findings

Cochlear shape facilitates transverse resonance and standing waves.

The cochlear duct functions as an information collection and amplification system.

A new wave model of the auditory system is developed.

Abstract

In this work, we investigate the phenomenon of transverse resonance and transverse standing waves that occur within the cochlea of living organisms. It is demonstrated that the predisposing factor for their occurrence is the cochlear shape, which resembles a conical acoustic tube coiled into a spiral and exhibits non-uniformities on its internal surface. This cochlear structure facilitates the analysis of constituent sound signals akin to a spectrum analyzer, with a corresponding interpretation of the physical processes occurring in the auditory system. Additionally, we conclude that the cochlear duct's scala media, composed of a system of membranes and the organ of Corti, functions primarily as an information collection and amplification system along the cochlear spiral. Collectively, these findings enable the development of a novel, highly realistic wave model of the auditory system in living organisms based on a technocratic approach within the scientific context.
