Traveling Waves
The traveling-wave displacement patterns shown below were computed with a time-domain model of cochlear mechanics which included active and nonlinear mechanical elements.
Basilar membrane displacement for a 250 Hz tone.
Basilar membrane displacement for a 1 kHz tone.
Basilar membrane displacement for a 4 kHz tone.
Basilar membrane displacement for clicks at 100/second rate.
