Mimicking the cochlea with an active acoustic metamaterial

The human ear is a fascinating sensor, capable of detecting pressures over ten octaves of frequency and twelve orders of magnitudes. Here, following a biophysical model, we demonstrate experimentally that the physics of a living cochlea can be emulated by an active one-dimensional acoustic metamater...
