Labs

Theme 1: Masking and Frequency Selectivity

  • Lab 1 - Stimulus Coding in AN: The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to illustrate how sound stimuli are coded in the temporal discharge patterns of auditory-nerve fibers. (PDF)
  • Lab 2 - Fundamentals of Perceptual Coding: In this lab students have the opportunity to carry out psychoacoustic measurements on themselves and to analyze the results. (PDF)

Theme 2: Cellular Mechanisms in the Cochlear Nucleus

  • Lab 3 - Cochlear Nucleus: In this laboratory, students classify single units recorded from the cochlear nucleus on the basis of their PST and interspike interval histogram shapes. (PDF)

Theme 3: Binaural Interactions

  • Lab 4 - MSO Compartmental Model: The purpose of this laboratory exercise is to give you hands-on experience with a compartmental model of a neuron. (PDF)

Theme 4: Pitch and Temporal Coding

Theme 5: Neural Maps and Plasticity

Theme 6: Deafness and Hearing Impairment
