Output-dependent inhibition creates amplificatory feedback that sharpens binaural asymmetries
Evidence
In other words, the asymmetry in the amount of contralateral inhibition of gain (or compression) was enhanced because it depended on the processors’ output rather on their input amplitudes. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1939
