Effects of calcium concentration in the endolymph upon characteristics of the oscillation. (A) Experimental records of spontaneous motility obtained from the same hair bundle under four different calcium concentrations: 250, 350, 550, and 750 μM. (B) Numerical simulations under the same calcium concentrations as in the experiment. Both display similar effects: at higher concentration, the fast component of the oscillation becomes faster and smaller in amplitude, whereas the slow component does not show a significant change.
