Martin Arthur in Russell Pfeiffer’s Lab, WASHU medical school, collecting single fiber discharge patterns in the peripheral auditory system during studies to find mechanism for two-tone rate reduction
Two-tone rate reduction. A1 & B triangle: Continuous tone and resulting discharges, A2 Tone burst with resulting discharges, C Combined tone and burst with reduction in discharge rate
Representative behavior of harmonics of the discharge pattern in two-tone suppression indicating that suppression is caused by non-linearity of the cochlear membrane
