Abstract :
In this paper we present a basilar membrane resonator design for an active 2D cochlea. It incorporates some of the non-linear behaviour exhibited in the real cochlea by utilizing a quality factor control loop. This control loop varies the gain and the frequency selectivity of the resonator based on the amplitude of the input signal.
