Power amplification in an active model of the cochlea--short-wave case.
To account for the most recent experimental results on cochlear mechanics, a mathematical model should include an active source of vibrational energy. In this note the energy gain of such a model is computed, for the case that only short waves are supported. It is shown how, via a so-called criterion function, the required energy gain can be found from the basilar-membrane velocity response.
