A Triboelectric-Based Artificial Basilar Membrane to Mimic Cochlear Tonotopy.
A triboelectric-based artificial basilar membrane (TEABM) can mimic cochlear tonotopy by triboelectrification between Kapton film and aluminum foil. The two films are stacked and clamped to form a beam structure. The TEABM tonotopy is tested using an animal model to verify the feasibility of a self-powered acoustic sensor for a prototype cochlear implant.
