Entracking emerges through multiple stages of convergent auditory inputs

Evidence

For CN neurons showing entracking, convergence of multiple inputs from the AN is obviously required; the degree of entracking in responses beyond the CN suggests that there are multiple stages of such convergence. A strong form of the butte hypothesis is based on perfect entracking; a weaker form only requires a monotonic relationship between firing rate and pitch-related period without attaining equality. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4525
