Marcel van der Heyden

Marcel van der Heyden is an Assistant Professor in Neurosciences at Erasmus MC, where he researches cochlear mechanics and auditory processing. His work employs optical coherence tomography and neurophysiological techniques to study sound transduction mechanisms.

Recent publications focus on cochlear vibration patterns, frequency selectivity in auditory nerves, and comparative biomechanics of hearing organs. His research reveals how sound-induced mechanical waves propagate through auditory structures to enable hearing sensation.
