Re: the efferent auditory system

Hi Matt,

Yes, you can find some interesting treatments of efferent feedback in
models ....

These include [1] and [2], which treat the processes local to the Organ
of Corti (OoC), yet under the influence of efferent feedback.

This year there have been others. which include [3] which treats [1]
beyond the OHC an more targeting the entire OoC.

A physiological basis is treated in [4] and [5] which deals with a
lumped model of the neural periphery and treats the mechanical cochlea
as a gammatone filter. [4] and [5] treat the system with unknown
physiological elements left out ... even though these elements are left
out, alot of experimental observations can still be explained.

Hope that helps
Matt
