Fig. 9. Iso-velocity amplitude map for lateral (A) and vertical (B) stimulation
based on the SLDV measurements of the malleus head. The two graphs represent
the motion pattern at the resonant frequencies 178 Hz and 182 Hz,
respectively, measured from the left ear of animal #17. Velocity amplitudes
were calculated by applying Eqn 2
at each point of a grid at a spatial resolution of 0.5 mm. The map and an
outline of the ossicular chain are superimposed to indicate the motion pattern
with respect to the ossicular anatomy. The axes of minimal amplitude are
indicated by the y'- and z'-axis, respectively.
For the LPI-motion reconstruction in response to vertical stimulation, the
coordinate system was aligned with respect to the z'-axis. APM,
anterior process of malleus; LPI, lenticular process of the incus; MA,
manubrium; SPI, short process of the incus.
