Figure 6.

Tonotopic microstructure created by multiple internal reflection. CF versus cochlear location for models with and without multiple internal reflection. CFs were computed from the two families of equispaced transfer functions shown in Figure 4. Results for the mechanically smooth model (without internal reflection) are shown using gray symbols (×); those for the irregular model are shown using black squares (■). Double-headed arrows indicate the approximate width (Δx) and height (ΔCF) of the stair steps.
