Physical Limits to Auditory Transduction of Hair-Cell Bundles probed by a Biomimetic System

Inspired by auditory hair cells of lower vertebrates, we design and fabricate an opto-electro-mechanical sensor at the border of its spontaneous activity, called Hopf bifurcation critical point. As proposed for biological hair cells, we observe that, as the system approaches the critical point, the...
