Predicting lateralization performance at high frequencies from auditory-nerve spike timing
… to SAM tones and TS degrades with increasing stimulus level, while remaining more stable for PT. ITD discrimination was measured in humans for stimuli presented either in quiet or with band-reject noise intended to restrict listening to a narrow frequency band. Performance improves slightly …

Modelling the human cochlea
… compression of amplitude growth with increasing stimulus level, harmonic and intermodulation distortion, limit cycle oscillations that travel along the cochlear membranes, and the mutual suppression of nearby linear instabilities.

Supra-Characteristic-Frequency Response in Gerbil Auditory Nerve Frequency Tuning Curves
… a supra-CF plateau in ANF responses at high stimulus level, indicating that the plateau mode of BM motion can be excitatory. Quantitative aspects of our findings suggest that the differential longitudinal motion that occurs within the traveling wave but not the plateau mode increases the …

Likelihood and Bayesian signal processing methods for the analysis of auditory neural and behavioral data
… same response property. The threshold, the first stimulus level for which a difference between baseline activity and stimulus-driven activity exists, is an example of such a response property for both neural and behavioral responses.In the first and second sections of this work, we show how the …

The effects of suggested analgesia on radiant heat pain as a function of hypnotic susceptibility: a signal detection analysis
… the effects of suggested analgesia and level of hypnotic susceptibility (high vs. low) on acute radiant heat pain using a signal detection theory model. A signal detection paradigm was used in order to differentiate between sensitivity (sensory-discriminative) and respose bias …

The de-territorialized zone: ill-defined spaces and unclassified behaviors.
This thesis deals with de-territorialized spaces, urban spaces in which ownership and responsibility are unclear. In such a zone we are not restricted to simply observing. A person can handle the environment; the potential exists to make changes with little fear of doing “damage” or infringing. You …

Neural Encoding of Complex Signals in the Healthy and Impaired Auditory Systems
… signature of hearing loss at the subcortical level using an objective electrophysiological non-invasive neural index, the frequency following response (FFR). Subcortical neural encoding of speech signals is explored by quantifying the effects of hearing loss on brainstem processing of acoustic …
