Fig. 3.
The method of estimating relative BM slopes from Yates et al. (1990). The main plot shows hypothetical rate functions for a BF tone and a tone below BF. The dotted lines show extraction of sound levels dbf and dlof at which rates are equal. (dbf, dlof) pairs from a series of rates across the dynamic range of the fiber are plotted in the inset for relative slope determination (line).
