Figure 2.
Characteristics of mechanical and electrical responses measured close to the BM, preparation wg165. The amplitude of voltage (A) and pressure (D) with pure tone stimuli varying from 30 to 90 dB SPL. (G) Pressure response amplitudes 10 and 20 μm from the BM. These and their corresponding phases were used to derive BM displacement. (B, E, and H) Voltage, pressure, and BM displacement amplitude normalized to EC pressure. (C, F, and I) Voltage, pressure, and displacement phase relative to EC pressure. Positive displacement corresponds to BM displacement toward SV (Fig. 1C). The inset in panel F contrasts the pressure and voltage phase in the gray dashed box region of C and F; for clarity high stimulus level results were excluded in the inset.
