A Biomechanical Model of the Inner Ear: Numerical Simulation of the Caloric Test
Whether two vertical semicircular canals can receive thermal stimuli remains controversial. This study examined the caloric response in the three semicircular canals to the clinical hot caloric test using the finite element method. The results of the developed model showed the horizontal canal (HC)...
