Auditory Information Processing Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that investigates how sound is heard, starting from vibrations in the peripheral auditory system.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how hearing works through vibrations in the peripheral auditory system.
Assistant Professor Yasuki Murakami mainly studies the mechanical vibrations of the peripheral auditory system caused by sound waves.
Because these vibrations correlate with the perception of sound, the research aims to clarify how people hear sound from the standpoint of the peripheral auditory system.
The research methods include numerical simulation, noninvasive physiological experiments, and perception experiments.
The lab is also interested in applying the findings from this research in engineering.
Key terms
- Peripheral auditory system
- The entry-side part of the auditory system, from the ear receiving sound to transmitting it to the nerves.
- Numerical simulation
- A method of expressing a phenomenon with mathematical equations and computing it on a computer to reproduce its behavior.
- Noninvasive physiological experiment
- An experiment that measures the body's responses without injuring the body.
ResearchResearch themes
The mechanical vibrations that sound waves produce in the peripheral auditory system correlate with the perception of sound. The lab aims to clarify how people hear sound by examining these vibrations, and is also interested in engineering applications of the findings.
