Fourier analysis of discharge patterns in response to sinusoidal acoustic stimulation provides a consistent and repeatable measure of response phase and amplitude. The distribution of the fundamental components of response for large populations of fibers as a function of their characteristic frequency provides a link between the spatiotemporal characteristics of basilar membrane vibration and single fiber response. Subject Classification: 65.42, 65.40.
