Basilar membrane acts like a series of overlapping, bandpass filters for frequency __. Each place along BM is tuned to a specific frequency.
- Tone
- Frequency

Stiffness decreases __ along the basilar membrane. It does not decrease linearly along BM. As you move from one place to another along the BM, frequency changes ___, not linearly.
- Exponentially
- Logarithmically
-
Complex sounds are sounds made of more than one __ wave. Fourier's analysis says any sound can be broken down into a series of individual sine waves (what the ear attempts to do)

Volley principle
- Summed output of many ANF
- If you know something about the period through phase-locking, you know something about the frequency
-
Temporal coding is the time between __ __ that contains information and phase-locking by ANF says that action potentials only occur at a particular phase of the sine wave. Also known as __.
