Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach
Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...

A Novel Missense Variant in LMX1A Leads to Autosomal Dominant Nonsyndromic Hearing Loss
ABSTRACT Hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (NSHL) is a prevalent entity associated with over 150 known causative genes, including LMX1A, which has fewer than 10 reported pathogenic variants. Here we present a novel missense variant in LMX1A in a family of European descent with hereditary hearing loss. Clinical and family histories were obtained, and
