Periodicity-tagged firing rates use template contrast to separate concurrent-vowel responses

Evidence

Based on the template-contrast functions in response to double vowels, we computed the “periodicity-tagged” firing rate for each vowel of the mixture (similar to that proposed by Keilson et al. 1997 ); e.g., for the /a/ component: Where is the mean firing rate of that single unit to the double vowel /a, i/, and and are template-contrast values for the two double-vowel components, respectively. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 5028
