A stochastic model of the electrically stimulated auditory nerve: pulse-train response
Abstract
The single-pulse model of the companion paper [1] is extended to describe responses to pulse trains by introducing a phenomenological refractory mechanism. Comparisons with physiological data from cat auditory nerve fibers are made for pulse rates between 100 and 800 pulses/s. First, it is shown that both the shape and slope of mean discharge rate curves are better predicted by the stochastic model than by the deterministic model. Second, while …
