Half-Octave Shift in Mammalian Hearing Is an Epiphenomenon of the Cochlear Amplifier

The cochlear amplifier is a hypothesized positive feedback process responsible for our exquisite hearing sensitivity. Experimental evidence for or against the positive feedback hypothesis is still lacking. Here we apply linear control theory to determine the open-loop gain and the closed-loop sensit...
