Neuromechanistic Model of Auditory Bistability
Fig 4
Time courses of model responses (A–C), predicted percepts (D–E), and an example of perceptual reports from our psychoacoustic experiments (F).
A: Population firing rate time courses with Δf = 5 st and PR = 8 Hz. The firing rate function threshold θF is a horizontal dashed black line. Abrupt perceptual switches are seen when AB firing decreases/increases drastically (vertical black lines); see text for the exact criterion for a switch. B: As in A, here for the synaptic excitation variables. C: As in A for the adaptation variables. D: Percept as encoded from A, see text. E: Encoded percept for the full 240 s simulation; panels A–D show only first 20 s. F: Time course of continuous percept reporting in psychoacoustic experimental for a 240 s trial at Δf = 5 st.
