Vibration direction sensitivity of the cochlea with bone conduction stimulation in guinea pigs
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sound and vibrations that cause the skull bone to vibrate can be heard as ordinary sounds and this is termed hearing by bone conduction (BC). Not all mechanisms that causes a skull vibration to result in BC hearing are known, and one such unknown is how ...
