Figure 8.

Relationships between BF estimated from rate and MASD profiles in response to harmonic complex tones, and CF estimates from pure-tone tuning curves. The filled circles show differences between estimates, expressed as a percentage of the tuning-curve CF. Results are grouped by stimulus level relative to the threshold of each fiber for a pure tone at CF. The open circles along the horizontal axis indicate measurements for which a BF could not be reliably estimated from rate or MASD profiles. The solid lines show the best-fitting linear models (based on an analysis of covariance) across all levels for CFs >1 kHz. Harmonics are in cosine phase.
