The ability to detect auditory signals from background noise may be enhanced by the addition
of energy in frequency regions well removed from the frequency of the signal. However, it …

… rate-intensity functions in guinea pig auditory nerve fibres Ian M. Winter *, Donald Rober …
Glass micropipettes filled with 2 M potassium acetate, and with resistances of 40-90 M~2 were …

Segmenting the complex acoustic mixture that makes a typical auditory scene into relevant
perceptual objects is one of the main challenges of the auditory system [1], for both human …

… In a companion paper to this one (Winter et al., 1990) we show the presence, in guinea
pig, of a third type of RI function: the straight rate-intensity function. We regarded this as an …

1. The responses of onset units in the cochlear nucleus of the anesthetized guinea pig have
been measured to single tones, two-tone complexes, and broadband noise (BBN; 20-kHz …

Comodulation masking release (CMR) enhances the detection of signals embedded in
wideband, amplitude-modulated maskers. At least part of the CMR is attributable to across-…

Single unit responses have been recorded from the anteroventral cochlear nucleus of the
anaesthetised guinea-pig. For each unit a response profile was obtained consisting of spike …

Accurate neural coding of the pitch of complex sounds is an essential part of auditory scene
analysis; differences in pitch help segregate concurrent sounds, while similarities in pitch …

… they typically had resistances of 10-20 M• in 2.7 M kC1. The number of straight rate-level
functions recorded in this study was comparable to that recorded by Winter et al. (1990) and …

Projections from auditory brainstem nuclei to the cochlear nuclei in the guinea pig were
studied by injection of two retrograde fluorescent neuronal tracers. For seven experiments fast …
