Document Summary
Frequency coding place theory" modi ed stimulation but in the form of a travelling wave. Physical location of stimulation on the basilar membrane signals the frequency of. Membrane properties altered physically by outer hair cells. The coding of sound frequency coding (place theory) contributes to the coding. Frequency to space mapping on the basilar membrane provides the initial means of. The rate of the modulation of the output of either individual, or population, of neutrons also. Limited in a single neuron so the population response must take over. Physical properties of the anatomy exploited to introduce additional dimensions along which to code the input, which initially is along a single dimension of time. Auditory receptive fields structured receptive elds the neural selectively further. The auditory nerve has speci c frequency tuning in each of its bres which also have a. Antagonistic principals of opponency are seen here as well and function to specify.
