Pure tone responses.

Normalized responses to pure tones in real (A; Sync +, n = 25. Sync-, n = 26) and simulated neurons (B; 30 simulated neurons). Normalized spike rate was obtained by dividing the population average response to the average peak response during stimulus presentation. (C.) Distribution of median spike times during stimuli presentation of all Sync+ neurons (green asterisk: median of distribution = 89ms) and Sync- neurons (yellow asterisk: median of distribution = 44ms). The two distributions were significantly different (Wilcoxon rank sum test, P < 0.001).
