Basilar-membrane Activity and Loudness
Buus and Florentine (ISP meeting 2001) presented evidence that basilar-membrane velocity growth functions are proportional to the square root of loudness functions derived from temporal and spectral integration. Although it is not possible to directly measure basilarmembrane activity in humans, it is likely that tone-burst otoacoustic emission input-output functions, at least at low and moderat...
متن کاملBasilar membrane nonlinearity and loudness.
Loudness matching functions for tones for persons with one shifted-threshold ear (hearing loss and noise-shifted thresholds) and one ear within normal limits were used to derive the presumed basilar membrane (BM) input-output (I/O) function in a normal ear. The comparison was made by assuming that the BM I/O function for the ear with the cochlear threshold shift has a slope of one (a linearized...
متن کاملLaser Doppler velocimetry of basilar membrane vibration.
A method is described for the measurement of basilar membrane (BM) vibration velocimeter (LDV). The instrumentation was coupled to a compound microscope which served to visualize reflective glass microbeads placed on the BM. The laser beam of the LDV was focused in the microscope object plane and positioned over the reflective bead. We show examples of frequency tuning curves and displacement i...
متن کاملBasilar membrane vibration in the gerbil hemicochlea.
Excised gerbil cochleae were cut along the mid-modiolar plane (hemicochlea). Along one-half turn of this preparation, fluorescent microbeads were placed on the basilar membrane (BM). The BM was vibrated with click stimuli (50 micros) produced mechanically by a piezo pusher. The stimulus delivery probe could be positioned either more apical or more basal from the beads. Vibration patterns were m...
متن کاملIn vivo measurement of basilar membrane stiffness.
Basilar membrane stiffness measurements were made in the base of the gerbil cochlea. Basilar membrane stiffness was determined by contacting the basilar membrane with a stainless steel needle (tip diameter 25 microns) attached to a force transducer, putting the needle/transducer structure through a low-frequency sinusoidal excursion with amplitude 5 or 25 nm, and measuring the restoring force e...
