On the Analytic Origin of Two Species of Cochlear Eigenmodes
Asheesh S. Momi, Isabella R. Graf, Michael C. Abbott +1
After entering the ear, sound waves propagate as surface waves along the cochlea's basilar membrane. In recent work, we showed numerically that the system supports two types of mod…
Lattice ultrasensitivity amplifies signals in E. coli without fine-tuning
Derek M. Sherry, Isabella R. Graf, Samuel J. Bryant +2
The E. coli chemosensory lattice, consisting of receptors, kinases, and adaptor proteins, is an important test case for biochemical signal processing. Kinase output is characterize…
Hair cells in the cochlea must tune resonant modes to the edge of instability without destabilizing collective modes
Asheesh S. Momi, Michael C. Abbott, Julian Rubinfien +2
Sound produces surface waves along the cochlea's basilar membrane. To achieve the ear's astonishing frequency resolution and sensitivity to faint sounds, dissipation in the cochlea…
Bifurcation enhances temporal information encoding in the olfactory periphery
Kiri Choi, Will Rosenbluth, Isabella R. Graf +2
Living systems continually respond to signals from the surrounding environment. Survival requires that their responses adapt quickly and robustly to the changes in the environment.…
