[Modeling the process of excitatory transmission from the mechanical portion of the auditory system to the nerve endings of the auditory nerve].
Sharpening of frequency selectivity of the mechanical part of the hearing system due to the transformation of the signals in the receptor system is investigated. It is proposed that excitation of neuron endings is proportional to the amplitude of the current which was produced by the difference of microphonic potentials in the neighbouring hair cells. It is shown that possible degree of the selectivity sharpening of the cochlea which can be explained by this model is in a good agreement with the known experimental results.
