title: Electrocochleography by mathematical modelling.
abstract: The aim of this work is to critically review some of the classical electrocochleographic methods in accordance with the systems theory: (a) in describing, by means of mathematical models, the different parts of the auditory system concerned in the generation of stimulus-evoked signals; and: (b) in comparing the outputs of these models with the measurements of the cochlear potentials. It must be stated clearly that we realise that many of the conclusions drawn could be criticised, it is hoped that future research in the field with be stimulated by this work.
