Georg von Békésy designed the instruments needed for his research. He also created physical models of the cochlea allowing him to manipulate the parameters (such as volume elasticity) that could be involved in controlling traveling waves. This review is about the specific devices that he used to study the motion of the basilar membrane thus allowing the analysis that lead to his Nobel Prize Award. The review moves forward in time mentioning the subsequent use of von Békésy's methods and later technologies important for motion studies of the organ of Corti. Some of the seminal findings and the controversies of cochlear mechanics are mentioned in relation to the technical developments.
乔治·冯·贝克西设计了他的研究所需的仪器。他还创建了耳蜗的物理模型,使他能够操纵可能参与控制行波的参数(如体积弹性)。这篇综述是关于他用于研究基底膜运动的特定设备,从而使他获得诺贝尔奖的分析。该综述按照时间顺序提及随后使用贝克西方法和后来对耳蜗器官运动研究很重要的技术。在提到技术发展时,还提到了一些开创性的发现和耳蜗力学的争议。
