    "abstract": "The tuning curve of the cochlea measures how large an input is required to\nelicit a given output level as a function of the frequency. It is a fundamental\nobject of auditory theory, for it summarizes how to infer what a sound was on\nthe basis of the cochlear output. A simple model is presented showing that only\ntwo elements are sufficient for establishing the cochlear tuning curve: a\nbroadly tuned traveling wave, moving unidirectionally from high to low\nfrequencies, and a set of mechanosensors poised at the threshold of an\noscillatory (Hopf) instability. These two components suffice to generate the\nvarious frequency-response regimes which are needed for a cochlear tuning curve\nwith a high slope.",
