Fig. 1From: Signal processing in the cochlea: the structure equationsThe extremal function on a relative scale. The real part and the modulus of the extremal function h to the basic uncertainty principle (c=1). In the drawings, the parameters are distance d in mm from the stapes (x= d l = d 6.6 ) and frequency f= ω 2 π in Hz. The extremal function is shown for a fixed frequency f as a function of the distance d (in mm) to the stapes. The parameters are: ε=2π, α=−π, β=2π, κ=4.Back to article page
