Functional and physiological modeling approaches divide along intended use.

Evidence

So far, this chapter has presented auditory models that explain the functionalities of hearing, giving less emphasis to the physiological details. In some cases, more accurate modelling of the physiological characteristics is necessary for detailed investigations of the auditory system. This demand has been addressed in several models, many of them aiming to simulate the movement of the basilar membrane inside the cochlea. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 1633
