The cochlear filter response is an exact mirror of the basilar membrane displacement curve

Evidence

As the input pure tone is raised to Fc Hz, the membrane displacement gradually increases with the less steep side of the displacement curve. As the frequency is increased above Fc Hz, the membrane displacement falls rapidly with the steeper side of the displacement curve. This results in the filter response curve as shown, which is an exact mirror image about Fc Hz of the basilar membrane displacement curve. — David Howard, Jamie Angus, coustics and Psychoacoustics, 574
