Best frequencies and temporal delays are similar across the low-frequency regions of the guinea pig cochlea

“Here, we [researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, and the Oregon Health and Science University] show that low-frequency hearing works according to a unique principle that does not involve a place code. Instead, sound-evoked responses and temporal delays are similar across the low-frequency regions of the cochlea. These findings are a break from theories considered proven for 100 years and have broad implications for understanding information processing in the brainstem and cortex and for optimizing the stimulus delivery in auditory implants.    MORE
