Abstract
In a previous paper (Geisler, 1986), a model of the effect of outer hair cell (OHC) motility on the movements of a radial strip of the cochlear partition was presented. When that model, slightly modified and extended, is incorporated into a simulation of the entire cochlea, it produces output with characteristics which match, to a surprising degree, those of the observed (or inferred) vibration patterns of the basilar membrane.
