Fig 3. Traveling waves.

Fig 3

(A) BM vibration patterns at three different stimulation frequencies when active (top) or passive (bottom). The shaded areas are the envelope of the traveling waves. Labels are the best frequencies at x = 2, 6 and 10 mm. (B) TM vibration patterns. (C) Comparison of the BM and the TM vibration patterns when stimulated at 17 kHz. (D) Comparison of the BM and the TM vibration patterns when stimulated at 0.9 kHz. For each panel, the top and bottom plots represent the active and passive response. The numbers next to the scale bar indicate the amplification factor (re. oval window displacement). The scale bars in the top plots of panel A and B correspond to 4000/4000/20 for the base/middle/apex curves, respectively.
