Quantitative Reappraisal of the Helmholtz-Guyton Resonance Theory of Frequency Tuning in the Cochlea
Figure 6
Helmholtz-Guyton model of the path for large hole drilled for observation of the basilar membrane. (a) Oscillatory motion (exaggerated, not to scale) of a curved fluid column is short circuited by the hole near the resonant segment of basilar membrane. (b) Effect of shortened path length on the frequency map of a hole at cm.
