title = "Differential measurement of basilar membrane vibration in sensitive gerbil cochleae",
abstract = "Basilar membrane vibrations in the transverse direction were measured at two longitudinal locations using a laser interferometer. The magnitude transfer function of the cochlear partition between the two locations was obtained by calculating the ratio of the vibration magnitude at the apical location to that at the basal location as a function of the stimulus frequencies. Measured differential transfer function showed a response peak at a frequency below the best frequency of the apical location with a magnitude >1, and the minimum magnitude near the best frequency of the basal location with an amplitude as small as 0.01. These data indicate that the cochlea achieves its high sensitivity, sharp tuning, and nonlinearity through amplification and attenuation of basilar membrane vibration.",
