VS as a function of CF for a population of modeled fibers (n = 25 fibers; one fiber at each CF) in response to an SAM tone (fc = 4 kHz) in quiet (blue trace) and in notched noise (notched width w = 20% and relative spectral noise level g = −35 dB.Hz−1) (red trace). Error bars indicate ± SD. VS values that were statistically significant62 are shown with a marker. The individual data points are shown next to the respective markers and error bars. AN auditory nerve, CF characteristic frequency, fc carrier frequency of the SAM tone, SAM sinusoidally amplitude modulated, VS vector strength.
