Further studies on the Schroeder-Hall hair-cell model.
The Schroeder-Hall hair-cell model [M.R. Shroeder and J.L. Hall, "Model for mechanical to neural transduction in the auditory receptor," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 55, 1055-1060 (1974] was further explored using additional stimulus waveforms and analysis techniques. The model is shown to have other interesting properties such as the ability to generate realistic two-tone interactions. Amended to limit the growth of transmitter release, the model also produces realistic adaptation and incremental response data. Other amendments improved high-intensity period histogram waveshapes. No one amendment, however, allowed the model to produce both realistic adaptation curves as well as period histogram waveforms that faithfully mimicked physiological data.
