A viscoelastic model for the response of a step change in velocity of the human otolith organs
The otolith organs are housed in the inner ear and are responsible for sensing accelerations and gravity. These inertial sensing systems are modeled in this thesis as a three material system consisting of a rigid otoconial plate attached to the skull by a gel layer, surrounded by a viscous endoly...
