Auditory nerve fibers are classified by the high-side-slope method of determining characteristic frequency

Evidence

2.1.2 Single-Unit Neurophysiology The auditory nerve was approached via a posterior-fossa craniotomy. ANFs were isolated using glass pipettes with 15–25 MΩ impedance. Spike times were recorded with 10-μs resolution. Stimulus presentation and data acquisition were controlled by MATLAB programs interfaced with hardware modules (TDT and National Instruments). For HI animals, ANF characteristic frequency (CF) was determined by the high-side-slope method of Liberman ( 1984 ). — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3826
