Discharge Patterns of Single Fibers in the Cat's Auditory Nerve
TL;DR: In this paper, the discharge patterns of single fibers in cat auditory nerve in response to controlled acoustic stimuli were investigated and shown to be similar to those of human auditory nerve, and they were shown to respond to controlled stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two-tone inhibition in auditory-nerve fibers.
TL;DR: It is found that the presence of a second tone diminishes the responses to the first tone if appropriate stimulus parameters are chosen and all fibers tested showed this two‐tone inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Electric Stimulation of the Crossed Olivocochlear Bundle on Single Auditory‐Nerve Fibers in the Cat
TL;DR: The activity of single auditory‐nerve fibers was examined with and without electric stimulation of the crossed olivocochlear bundle and some effects of COCB stimulation on “spontaneous” and acoustically generated activity are discussed with reference to cochlear mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tails of tuning curves of auditory-nerve fibers.
Nelson Y. S. Kiang,E. C. Moxon +1 more
TL;DR: Tuning curves for auditory‐nerve fibers in anesthetized cats also show significant low‐frequency tails, and fibers with high characteristic frequencies (CF) respond to tones throughout a wide range of low and middle frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Speech coding in the auditory nerve: I. Vowel-like sounds
TL;DR: Discharge patterns of auditory-nerve fibers in anesthetized cats were recorded in response to a set of nine steady-state, two-formant vowels presented at 60 and 75 dB SPL.
