Scatterplot of the number of times the pressure integration threshold of a fiber, T₀, is reached by integration of the pressure gain/pressure loss,P_c, during a 210 msec interval,t_m, (P_c ×t_m/T₀) against the average number of spikes,N_spont, measured in such an interval in the absence of intentional acoustic stimulation. Note the close correlation with a slope near 1 (for further explanations, see Results).
