The auditory nerve cannot support continuity. Results of model auditory nerve responses using the same stimuli as presented to the A1 neurons. On top are examples of the simulated results for a single neuron, on the bottom is the Tone-Noise Selectivity Index (TNSI) for the population of simulated neurons. Note that the TNSI distribution is highly skewed towards negative values, unlike the distribution for A1 responses in Fig. 4A. The modeled nerve fibers are exquisitely sensitive to spectral and temporal components in the gap and noise, being unable to represent continuity.
