Re: Delay of the active cochlea

[Matt Flax <flatmax@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tamás,

You have two approaches with respect to active delay :
1] Travelling wave delay ... I am not sure where to find accurate delay 
measurements for the travelling wave point of view ... a good 
theoretical treatment follows from Shera's work [1] for example. I am 
sure in that paper you will find references to measurements...

2] Electrical delay measurements ... Wilson gives some detail about this 
issue [2].

The travelling wave active models assume as much as 12 cycles of delay - 
perhaps more ?

I am going to submit my PhD thesis in the next few months ... it will 
delve more into the physiological mechanisms of activity.... stay tuned!

Matt
