SPECIAL SECTION GUEST EDITORIAL: Photonics in the Auditory System

摘要

We are extremely delighted to present a collection of seven papers in this special section of the Journal of Biomedical Optics that reports on applications of photonics in studying the auditory system. While optical methods have been used by a variety of investigators to study a wide range of biological systems, the utility of such methods in probing the auditory system represents an emerging area in biophotonics.
