| dc.description.abstract | Two fundamental principles dominate the signal processing of
the auditory system: selectivity and adaptation. The response of
the auditory system is selective for various acoustic features and
the representation of these acoustic features adapts over time.
This thesis is concerned with the characterisation of selectivity
and adaptation in the human auditory system. Initially, selectivity
for modulation rate and adaptation to intensity are characterised
in a central auditory model. Next, selectivity for temporalmodulation
rate and selective adaptation to both intensity and temporal
modulation rate are characterised in psychophysical data. | en_US |
