A model of dynamic auditory perception and its application to robust speech recognition

1995 iii Dedication For those with enough patience to read it. Displacement of the basilar membrane in response to a sinusoid at 4 stages in its propagation (after von Bekesy, [1960]). .......10 Figure 2.2 Frequency response of neural fibers along a cat's basilar mem-Figure 2.3 Measured at 18 kHz center frequencies: A) Basilar motion in response to constant level inputs of varying frequency (after Johnstone et al., 1986). B) Constant basilar motion in response to inputs of varying frequency and level: the dotted line marks the threshold of an associated inner hair cell (after Sellick et
