Following rapid changes in sound
¥The auditory nerve response does not follow changes with perfect precision
In the PST histograms on the right, the auditory nerve response does not exactly follow the clean increment or decrement in sound that is shown at the bottom of the panel.
The auditory system canÕt really respond fast enough to capture little fluctuations, and even if it could, a lot of those little fluctuations in the auditory nerve response would be misleading.
