"Human Acoustics: From the Vocal Chords to the Inner Ear"
I will present a semi-discrete mathematical model for the vocal
chords, which is to say the vocal chords are modeled as a discrete
mass-spring system while the airflow is continuous. Some numerical issues
and results will also be discussed. Then we move on to a different topic,
the inner ear. I will present a little of the biology of the inner ear
and discuss a two-dimensional nonlinear nonlocal model of the cochlea.
Applications include uses for hearing aids as well as audio compression.
Students of all levels are encouraged to attend.
