Interactions between hair cells shape spontaneous otoacoustic emissions in a model of the tokay gecko's cochlea.
The hearing of tetrapods including humans is enhanced by an active process that amplifies the mechanical inputs associated with sound, sharpens frequency selectivity, and compresses the range of responsiveness. The most striking manifestation of the active process is spontaneous otoacoustic emission...
