  • Title: Frequency analysis in the cochlea and the traveling wave of von Békésy.
    Author: Naftalin L.
    Journal: Physiol Chem Phys; 1980; 12(6):521-6. PubMed ID: 7267738.
    Abstract:
    Certain experimental data are difficult to reconcile with von Békésy's traveling-wave concept as operative at low energy inputs; i.e., at threshold or near-threshold of hearing. These data, ranging from energy-input values to anatomical and psychoacoustic observations, indicate the possibility of alternative or additional modes of molecular transduction. One such mode is proposed, based on experimental evidence.
