A “Second Filter” Established within the Scala Media (General Comment)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communication and Cybernetics ((COMMUNICATION,volume 8))

Abstract

In several manuscripts contributed to this symposium (cf. DALLOS, EVANS, HELLE, TONNDORF, WILSON) a possible sharpening of the basilar membrane’s frequency selectivity by an additional system is mentioned, which may be called the “second filter”. Since we have observed fluid motions in the gap between the tectorial membrane and the organ of Corti in the unfixated ear of the domestic pig when stimulating the stapes by large vibration amplitudes (Zwicker, 1972), we thought about this “second filter” as possibly being installed within the scala media.
