Vibrational research on the middle ear using 4D stroboscopic digital holography and dynamic middle ear finite element models.

In this project, I will elaborate a new imaging technique, high-power stroboscopic digital holography, which will provide full field as well as time resolved information. The combination of these measurements with vibration calculations on newly constructed finite element (FE) models of the ME will resolve the fundamental questions about the mechanics of the eardrum.
