Subject: Traveling waves or resonance? From: Andrew Bell <andrew.bell(at)anu.edu.au> Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 10:40:41 +1000Some years back this list began a discussion on the relative virtues of viewing the cochlea as driven by traveling waves or resonance. Happily, progress has been made in my endeavours to revive a resonance theory of hearing and an approachable discussion piece on the subject has just been published in PLoS Biology. The reference is Bell A (2004) Hearing: Travelling Wave or Resonance? PLoS Biol 2(10): e337. The open-access, full-text article is at http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0020337 Andrew. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andrew Bell Research School of Biological Sciences The Australian National University Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia T: +61 2 6125 9634 F: +61 2 6125 3808 andrew.bell(at)anu.edu.au ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
