Journal ArticleDOI
Representation of steady‐state vowels in the temporal aspects of the discharge patterns of populations of auditory‐nerve fibers
Eric D. Young,Murray B. Sachs +1 more
TL;DR: A simple calculation is described which combines rate, place, and temporal information to provide a good representation of the vowels' spectra, including a clear indication of at least the first two formant frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rate versus level functions for auditory‐nerve fibers in cats: tone‐burst stimuli
Murray B. Sachs,Paul J. Abbas +1 more
TL;DR: Average discharge rate of single auditory‐nerve fibers in cats was measured in response to 400‐msec tone bursts using a simple model consisting of a mechanical stage followed by a saturating nonlinearity (transducer stage) and input‐output function for the transducer is developed empirically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encoding of steady-state vowels in the auditory nerve: Representation in terms of discharge rate
Murray B. Sachs,Eric D. Young +1 more
TL;DR: Rate versus level functions for units with CFs above the first formant can saturate at rates less than the saturation rate to CF to-es or they can be nonmonotonic; these effects are most likely produced by the same mechanism as that involved in two-tone suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of electrical stimulation of the crossed olivocochlear bundle on auditory nerve response to tones in noise
TL;DR: Increases in the threshold of noise-induced shift due to COCB stimulation therefore suggests an interaction between the mechanism of two-tone rate suppression and the mechanism by which C OCB stimulation produces dynamic range shift.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-tone intensity discrimination based on auditory-nerve rate responses in backgrounds of quiet, noise, and with stimulation of the crossed olivocochlear bundle.
TL;DR: Application of simple statistical models of the firing patterns of high, medium, and low spontaneous rate auditory-nerve fibers to study mechanisms which determine the overall dynamic range of the auditory periphery shows that optimum processing of the rate responses of fibers with BF near 8.0 kHz yields performance in the intensity discrimination task meeting or exceeding that of human subjects over an 80 dB range of levels.
