A normalized ratio quantifies the balance of excitation and suppression in auditory fibers

Evidence

We calculated a normalized excitatory-suppressive ratio as for N ε significant excitatory vectors and N σ significant suppressive vectors. This normalized ratio varies from 1 (only excitation, no suppression), through 0 (equal excitation and suppression), to ‑1 (only suppression and no excitation: in practice does not occur). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3819
