Abstract:

Contents Physiology of the Limulus visual system Development of an electronic auditory receptor model Short-term adaptation and incremental response of auditory nerve units Stapedius responses to pairs of tone bursts Encoding of light intensity by single receptors in the unexcised Limulus eye Estimation of the integration time-constant in auditory receptor units Some effects of short-term adaptation on incremental responses of auditory neurons On loudness as a function of tone duration.
