Single-tone intensity discrimination based on auditory-nerve rate responses in backgrounds of quiet, noise, and with stimulation of the crossed olivocochlear bundle.
TLDR
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.About:

Phantom auditory perception (tinnitus): mechanisms of generation and perception
TL;DR: Existing theories and their extrapolation are presented, together with some new potential mechanisms of tinnitus generation, encompassing the involvement of calcium and calcium channels in cochlear function, with implications for malfunction and aging of the auditory and vestibular systems.

SENSE AND THE SINGLE NEURON: Probing the Physiology of Perception
Andrew Parker,William T. Newsome +1 more
TL;DR: This work reviews the striking progress in the study of the links between neural activity and perception, giving particular emphasis to the kinds of neural events that underlie the perceptual judgments of conscious observers.

Speech Perception By Ear and Eye: A Paradigm for Psychological Inquiry
TL;DR: In this paper, the processing of information in face-to-face communication when a speaker makes both audible and visible information available to a perceiver is discussed. But the evaluation of the information source provides information about the strength of alternative interpretations, rather than just all-or-none categorical information, as claimed by "categorical perception" theory.

Olivocochlear efferents: anatomy, physiology, function, and the measurement of efferent effects in humans.
TL;DR: MOC efferents help to reduce acoustic trauma and lessen the masking of transients by background noise; for instance, they aid in speech comprehension in noise; however, much remains to be learned about the role ofefferents in auditory function.

Aspects of multivariate statistical theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a set of standard tests on Covariance Matrices and Mean Vectors, and test independence between k Sets of Variables and Canonical Correlation Analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auditory-nerve response from cats raised in a low-noise chamber.
TL;DR: The data suggest that there is a significant amount of "normal pathology" in the high-CF units from routine animals, and the possible significance of a classification of auditory-nerve units according to spontaneous rate is discussed.

Observations of the Vibration of the Basilar Membrane in Squirrel Monkeys using the Mössbauer Technique
TL;DR: The amplitude and the phase of vibration of the basilar membrane and the bony limbus of the cochlea were measured in living squirrel monkeys using the Mossbauer technique.
