Tuning curves of cochlear and brainstem responses in the guinea pig.
A tone-on-tone masking paradigm was used to determine tuning curves of cochlear and brainstem responses in the guinea pig. The tuning curves are considered to be a measure of the frequency specificity of these potentials. Calculated Q10 values are used in an indicator of the sharpness of tuning of these potentials. The tuning curves of cochlear and brainstem responses were found to be similar with both showing considerable frequency specificity.
