Laser Doppler velocimetry of basilar membrane vibration [PDF]
Hearing Research, 1991 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

Contralateral inhibition of click- and chirp-evoked human compound action potentials [PDF]
, 2017 Cochlear outer hair cells (OHC) receive direct efferent feedback from the caudal auditory brainstem via the medial olivocochlear (MOC) bundle. This circuit provides the neural substrate for the MOC reflex, which inhibits cochlear amplifier gain and is ...

Spontaneous Basilar-Membrane Oscillation (SBMO) and Coherent Reflection [PDF]
Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, 2006 In a previous report (in JARO) we have described a relatively high-frequency (15 kHz) spontaneous oscillation of the basilar membrane (SBMO) in a guinea pig ear; this oscillation was accompanied by a spontaneous otoacoustic emission (SOAE) at the same frequency.

Cochlear-bone wave can yield a hearing sensation as well as otoacoustic emission
, 2014 A hearing sensation arises when the elastic basilar membrane inside the cochlea vibrates. The basilar membrane is typically set into motion through airborne sound that displaces the middle ear and induces a pressure difference across the membrane.

The Active Traveling Wave in the Cochlea [PDF]
, 2003 A sound stimulus entering the inner ear excites a deformation of the basilar membrane which travels along the cochlea towards the apex. It is well established that this wave-like disturbance is amplified by an active system.

Hydromechanical Structure of the Cochlea Supports the Backward Traveling Wave in the Cochlea In Vivo
Neural Plasticity, 2018 The discovery that an apparent forward-propagating otoacoustic emission (OAE) induced basilar membrane vibration has created a serious debate in the field of cochlear mechanics. The traditional theory predicts that OAE will propagate to the ear canal via

A ratchet mechanism for amplification in low-frequency mammalian hearing
, 2010 The sensitivity and frequency selectivity of hearing result from tuned amplification by an active process in the mechanoreceptive hair cells. In most vertebrates the active process stems from the active motility of hair bundles.
