Cochlea: Basilar Membrane Mechanics and Tonotopia

Storyboard

Von Bekesy traveling wave model and cochlear active amplification. Describe how each frequency has a position of maximum amplitude on the basilar membrane (tonotopia), and how the outer hair cells selectively amplify 40-60 dB at their characteristic frequencies.
