Hydromechanical Structure of the Cochlea Supports the Backward Traveling Wave in the Cochlea In Vivo

Figure 6

BM vibration responses of a mathematical model of the cochlea under backward driving. (a) Amplitude responses of BM vibration at two longitudinal locations. Solid line, labeled as middle, is at a more apical location; dotted line, labeled as basal, is at a more basal location. The arrows marked the roll-off points. (b) Phase responses.
