Abstract
Hopf-type nonlinearities have been recently found to be the basic mechanism of the mammalian cochlear response. Physiology requires that these nonlinearities be coupled. By suitably implementing a biomorphic coupling scheme of cochlear nonlinearities, we obtain a simple cochlea model that faithfully reproduces measured basilar membrane response, validating the utility of the Hopf amplifier concept. Our results demonstrate that the correct coupling between nonlinearities is as important as the nonlinearities themselves.Entities:
