Fig. 1.

Example of the stimulus and model predictions. A. The hypothesized pathway in Thwaites et al. (2016), with the predicted activity for the first 1-s of the stimulus. B. The hypothesized pathway when channel-specific instantaneous loudnesses (purple) are added to the model. C. The hypothesized pathway when channel-specific short-term loudnesses (pink) are calculated as a prerequisite before the overall short-term loudness.
