title: Cochlear models - 1978.
abstract: Two important concepts at the forefront of most cochlear modeling work today are the need for nonlinear basilar membrane mechanics and the need for a "second-filtering" mechanism at the transduction site of the hearing system. Other less controversial topics are one vs. two-dimensional models and the use of the WKB method for obtaining analytical results for frequencies below the cut-off frequency.
