Critical bandwidths were measured behaviorally at 1 and 2 kHz by simultaneous masking in four cats. Three methods used. They (i) the of a tone noise variable bandwidth, (ii) narrow-band signal two tones, (iii) rippled spectrum. The three agreed closely gave mean critical bandwith 410 Hz 690 kHz. These values about times as great electrophysiologically-determined effective single fibers auditory nerve same frequencies, both other animals, one animals that had been tested well.

AbstractCritical bands in the cat were measured by a behavioural psychophysical method. Pure tones masked noise of variable bandwidth but constant total power, geometrically centred on test tone; point at which threshold began to fall as masker was increased estimated critical bandwidth. At 2 kHz also from wideband thresholds both and bandwidth: this produced same result first The greater than previously published values effective bandwidths single fibres auditory nerve. results do not fit...
HCI is increasingly working with 'vulnerable' people, yet there a danger that the label of vulnerability can alienate and stigmatize people such work aims to support. We report our study investigating application interaction design increase rates hate crime reporting amongst Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Transgender young people. During design-led workshops, participants expressed ambivalence towards reporting. While recognizing their exposure crime, they simultaneously rejected being identified as...
The organ of Corti and macula lagena were studied by scanning transmission electron microscopy in two species monotreme, the platypus echidna. In both species, had a fundamentally mammalian conformation, with distinct outer inner hair cells, separated tunnel Corti. However, unlike eutherian mammals, monotremes three or four rows pillar to five cells. was much shorter than at 4.4 mm (platypus), 7.6 (echidna). While total number cells (3,350 platypus, 5,050 echidna) many fewer most (1,600...
Lateral line neuromasts of the bullseye Parapriacanthus ransonetti and cardinal fish Apogon cyanosoma were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Neuromasts showed large numbers degenerating hair cells immature cells, suggesting a high degree cell turnover. New mainly produced in pairs (fewer than 5% appear singly), two pair having opposite but parallel orientations their mechanosensitive axes. It is suggested that each results, directly or indirectly, from single mitosis. The results...
Abstract Guinea pigs were treated with a single dose of Cisplatin (5 mg IP). After 2–4 days the cochleas prepared for morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy and chemical X-ray dispersive microanalysis. Following Cisplatin, bundles stereocilia on hair cells found to be rough, disarrayed, fused, finally absorbed. Significant increases in levels calcium, sulphur, phosporus abnormal cells. It is suggested that high calcium might due inhibition enzymes which normally keep...
The effective bandwidths of cat auditory-nerve fibers were estimated electrophysiologically from the masked thresholds tones at nerve fibers’ characteristic frequency. masking noise was variable bandwidth but constant total power and geometrically centered on It presented an intensity which, for narrowest masker used, raised tone threshold by about 20 dB. point which began to decline as increased provided estimate fiber’s bandwidth. A similar method had been used in earlier psychophysical...
