Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of the Mammalian Cochlea
Luis Robles,Mario A. Ruggero +1 more
TL;DR: The high sensitivity and sharp-frequency tuning, as well as compression and other nonlinearities (two-tone suppression and intermodulation distortion), are highly labile, indicating the presence in normal cochleae of a positive feedback from the organ of Corti, the "cochlear amplifier."
Journal ArticleDOI
Basilar-membrane responses to tones at the base of the chinchilla cochlea
TL;DR: Basilar-membrane responses to single tones were measured, using laser velocimetry, at a site of the chinchilla cochlea located 3.5 mm from its basal end, and compressive growth of responses to tones with frequency near CF is accompanied by intensity-dependent phase shifts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basilar membrane mechanics at the base of the chinchilla cochlea. I. Input-output functions, tuning curves, and response phases.
TL;DR: High-frequency plateaus were observed in both isovelocity tuning curves and phase-frequency curves, and there is a progressive loss of sensitivity of the mechanical response with time for the frequencies around CF, but not for frequencies on the tail of the tuning curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence from Mössbauer experiments for nonlinear vibration in the cochlea
William S. Rhode,Luis Robles +1 more
TL;DR: The Mossbauer technique has been applied to the measurement of vibration of the basilar membrane in the squirrel monkey cochlea and the nonlinearity can be observed at the lowest levels of stimulation, 70–80 dB SPL, for which measurements could be made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selective Attention to Visual Stimuli Reduces Cochlear Sensitivity in Chinchillas
TL;DR: A significant decrease of cochlear sensitivity during the period of attention to visual stimuli in the animals performing the visual discrimination task, but not in those performing the auditory task, demonstrating that this physiological effect is related to selective attention toVisual stimuli rather than to an increment in arousal level.
