Quantitative Reappraisal of the Helmholtz-Guyton Resonance Theory of Frequency Tuning in the Cochlea
Figure 8
Apparent traveling waves following a transient, click-like disturbance (10) in a system of independent oscillators mimicking the basilar membrane. To mimic the effect of the helicotrema, the transient pressure across the membrane is scaled by the exponential function with length constant, ζ, equal to 1.0 cm. BM indicates basilar membrane.
