This current project focuses on creating an array of prosthetics for the human ear that act as external organs to facilitate auditory functions as well as enhancing them. Once complete, the prosthetics will be worn behind the ear lobe and use the structure of the outer ear to secure it in place. We are working on creating a variety of different shapes to explore how their structures affect how our ears collect sound. As the project progresses we will begin to integrate technology and other biological features into them to further enhance the wearer's capabilities. This will include bone conduction, ultrasonic sensors and human/animal neurons.

We would like to expand the project beyond the ear prosthetics by looking into VR, sound art, projection, and other means of creating prosthetics such as tissue engineering and 3-D printing.
