Quantitative Reappraisal of the Helmholtz-Guyton Resonance Theory of Frequency Tuning in the Cochlea

Figure 5

Small signal resonant frequencies for the mass resonance cochlear model as a function of distance from the stapes, compared with typical experimental data (triangles) from Greenwood [34], Figure 9. The scale is logarithmic. Stiffness constant, 𝐶, in expressions (4a) and (4b) and (5a) and (5b) equals 26.7 for the cochlear model.
