Perhaps the most striking evidence for active processes operating within the inner ears of
mammals and non-mammals alike is their ability to spontaneously produce sound. Predicted …

Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) are faint sounds generated by healthy inner ears that provide
a window into the study of auditory mechanics. All vertebrate classes exhibit OAEs to varying …

Frequency selectivity is a key functional property of the inner ear and since hearing research
began, the frequency resolution of the human ear has been a central question. In contrast to …

Lizard auditory papillae have proven to be an attractive object for modelling the production
of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAE). Here we use an established model (Vilfan …

The suppression of spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) allows the objective
evaluation of cochlear frequency selectivity by determining the suppression tuning curve …

The ear is a remarkable detector. It is both highly sensitive and selective and operates over
a large dynamic range spanning more than 12 orders of magnitude of energy. Perhaps …

Spontaneous otoacoustic emissions (SOAEs) provide startling evidence that there is an
active process at the core of the mammalian cochlea, but the mechanism involved is …

Native acquisition of a tonal language (TL) is related to enhanced abilities of pitch
perception and production, compared to non-tonal language (NTL) native speakers …

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) from lizards can display a rapid variation
in intensity level upon changes in the distortion frequency. The level functions of both cubic …

Coupling is critical in nonlinear dynamical systems. It affects the stabilities of individual
oscillators as well as the characteristics of their response to external forces. In the auditory …
