Bone-Conduction Hearing Data for Elephants and Humans

Data supporting a comparative study of middle-ear bone-conduction hearing in elephants and humans. The dataset includes files for figures and supporting information from a paper accepted in Frontiers Audiology and Otology. It was authored by Sunil Puria and hosted on Harvard Dataverse.

Use Cases

• Compare bone-conduction hearing thresholds between species based on the comparative study data.
• Replicate statistical analyses from the published paper using the included scripts and data.
• Validate biomechanical models of the middle ear using the provided measurement data.

Strengths

• Includes statistical analysis and plot scripts, facilitating reproducibility.
• Data is associated with a peer-reviewed publication accepted in a Frontiers journal.
• Last updated on 2026-05-29, indicating recent maintenance.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
