Marrying critical oscillators with traveling waves shapes nonlinear sound processing in the cochlea

Henri Ver Hulst, Carles Blanch Mercader, Frank Jülicher +1

The cochlea's capacity to process a broad range of sound intensities has been linked to nonlinear amplification by critical oscillators. However, while the increasing sensitivity o…
