  • Title: Relationships between frequency-tuning and spatial-tuning curves in the mammalian cochlea.
    Author: Geisler CD, Cai Y.
    Journal: J Acoust Soc Am; 1996 Mar; 99(3):1550-5. PubMed ID: 8819851.
    Abstract:
    The tuning curve of a single auditory-nerve fiber is a measure of the intensity levels producing that fiber's threshold response at each of a number of frequencies. For many purposes it is desirable to know cochlear responses as a function of cochlear location (spatial distance from the stapes). Using assumptions of uniformity, the relationships between auditory-nerve-fiber frequency-tuning curves, basilar-membrane frequency-response curves, and basilar-membrane spatial-response curves are obtained. From the spatial-response characteristics which are then inferred from neural frequency-tuning curves, it appears that the tuning properties of the apical cochlea are fairly uniform and differ from the tuning properties of the basal cochlea.
