Subject: Cochlea Amplifier models : a new list From: Matt Flax <flatmax@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 19:35:46 +1000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hello, After our discussion last week, I have made a new list of possible physiological Cochlea Amplifiers (some of these are weakly physiologically based). I currently count six. Can anyone think of other physiologically based CAs to add to the list ? In no particular order : a] Oscillators : Van Der Pol type oscillators, which I believe began with Johannesma [1] b] Squirting wave : Andrew Bell's Organ of Corti squirting amplifier [2] c] Dual resonance : Martin Braun's dual resonance model [3] d] Feedback amp. : Zwicker's feedback amplifier [4] e] Hopf amplifier : Hopf bifurcation augmenting the travelling wave [5,6] f] Active TW : Active travelling wave amplifiers - of which I believe there are many, I reference only one [7] thanks Matt [1] @xxxxxxxx{Johannesma:1980, author = {Johannesma, P.I.M.}, title = {Narrow Band Filters and Active Resonators}, booktitle = {Psychophysical, physiological and behavioural studies in hearing}, publisher = {Delft University Press: Delft}, year = {1980}, editor = {van der Brink, G. and Bilsen, F.A.}, pages = {62-63} } [2] @xxxxxxxx{bell:2004, author = {Bell, A. and Fletcher, N.H.}, title = {{The cochlear amplifier as a standing wave: "Squirting" waves between rows of outer hair cells?}}, journal = {The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, year = {2004}, volume = {116}, pages = {1016}, publisher = {ASA} } [3] @xxxxxxxx{braun:1994, title={{Tuned hair cells for hearing, but tuned basilar membrane for overload protection: evidence from dolphins, bats, and desert rodents}}, author={BRAUN, M.}, journal={Hearing research}, volume={78}, number={1}, pages={98--114}, year={1994}, publisher={Elsevier} } [4] @xxxxxxxx{Zwicker:1986a, author = {Zwicker, E.}, title = {A hardware cochlear nonlinear preprocessing model with active feedback}, journal = {Journal of the Acoustical Society of America}, year = {1986}, volume = {80}, pages = {146-153}, number = {1}, month = {July} } [5] @xxxxxxxx{duke:2003, author = {Duke, T. and J{\"u}licher, F.}, title = {{Active Traveling Wave in the Cochlea}}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, year = {2003}, volume = {90}, pages = {158101}, number = {15}, publisher = {APS} } [6] @xxxxxxxx{magnasco:2003, author = {Magnasco, M.O.}, title = {{A Wave Traveling over a Hopf Instability Shapes the Cochlear Tuning Curve}}, journal = {Physical Review Letters}, year = {2003}, volume = {90}, pages = {58101}, number = {5}, publisher = {APS} } [7] @xxxxxxxx{neely:1983, title={{An active cochlear model showing sharp tuning and high sensitivity.}}, author={Neely, ST and Kim, DO}, journal={Hearing Research}, volume={9}, number={2}, pages={123--30}, year={1983} } -- http://www.flatmaxstudios.com/ http://www.flatmax.org Public Projects : http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=mffm http://www.psysound.org
