Bioamplifiers and Hearing

Research involves the study of neurons and hair cells (the sensory cells we use for hearing) including the spiral ganglion neuron (SGN). The first neuron in our ascending auditory pathway, the SGN connects an inner hair cell, which has converted a sound wave into an electrical signal, to our cochlear nucleus.
