Exam 6: Hearing

Responses of neurons in the cat auditory system to different ranges of sound intensity show that:

Otoacoustic emissions are:

The auditory thalamic nucleus is the

The number of fibres in the auditory nerve is about:

The organ of Corti lies on the:

For tones above 4 kHz:

The half-power bandwidth of an auditory filter is:

Which of the following brain areas has most frequently been activated in fMRI studies examining processing of McGurk stimuli?

Discrimination thresholds for high-frequency tones are much larger than for low-frequency tones. This is a problem for place theory because:

The McGurk Effect is the finding that:

Using fMRI, Humphries et al. found abutting regions within human auditory cortex which:

Phase-locking was suggested as a way of encoding frequency because:

If the fundamental frequency (200 Hz) is removed from a tone of 200 Hz with harmonics of 400, 600, 800, 1000 Hz, its pitch has a frequency of:

The upper limit of the frequency range which humans can accurately perceive pitch (e.g. reproduce a sequence of tones) is about:

Which of the following is not one of the ossicles?
