Award for research developing advanced OCT-based 3D vibrometry techniques to study cochlear mechanics in mice, aiming to improve understanding and treatment of hearing loss.
Description
This project aims to develop advanced OCT techniques to measure 3D vibrations in the cochlea, which could lead to better understanding and treatment of hearing loss. The research involves developing a new approach to study the 3D motion of the cochlea using traditional OCT systems to extract vibrational angles and compute 3D motion vectors, validated through experiments and applied to mouse cochlea structures.
