A single feedback process yields complementary onset-emphasis and loudness-integration outputs.

Evidence

Figure 13.8 illustrates the two outputs of the above-described model (Figure 13.7) for a pure tone signal with a square wave envelope. The auditory nerve response (firing rate) is shown in Figure 13.8b, where the emphasis of the onset and the subsequent adaptation are clearly visible. Figure 13.8c shows the loudness-level output reflecting the temporal integration and post-masking effects. Interestingly, the two output signals that result from the same feedback process can be seen as complementary signals. — Ville Pulkki, Matti Karjalainen, Communication Acoustics- An…, 1630
