Journal ArticleDOI
Alternating current delivered into the scala media alters sound pressure at the eardrum
TL;DR: Variations in the electromechanical effect with acoustic stimulus parameters and observed physiological vulnerability suggest that cochlear hair cells are the biophysical origin of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI
A traveling-wave amplifier model of the cochlea
TL;DR: A two-mode model of the cochlea that uses active intermode feedback has been developed that quantitatively accounts for the motion of the basilar membrane in response to single tones and qualitatively accountsFor cochlear emission phenomena.
Patent
Apparatus for performing assays at reaction sites
TL;DR: In this article, a rotary stepper motor was used to rotate a substrate at an adjustable and substantially continuous speed and control the rotation of the substrate by adjusting the speed and a direction of rotation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A piezoelectric model of outer hair cell function.
TL;DR: A simple piezoelectric model of outer hair cell function is presented which integrates existing data from isolated OHC experiments and suggests that, at the characteristic frequency of a given cochlear location, the OHC receptor current is very efficiently converted into basilar membrane motion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid force production in the cochlea
TL;DR: Comparison of the enhancement effect with the cochlear microphonic (CM) suggests that the emissions originate from the outer hair cells (OHC), and frequency response measurements indicate a rate-limiting time constant for the force-generating process which is less than 35 microseconds.
