Fig. 3.
Examples of auditory nerve rate–intensity functions at the CF. Each panel shows, as filled diamonds joined by a thin line, the raw discharge rates of a single fiber as a function of sound pressure level averaged over 10 presentations. The thick line in each case represents the best fit. The CF and the fit parameters are also given. G and I show two examples of flat–saturating responses, all other panels are examples for sloping–saturating responses.
