A QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF THE ADAPTATION OF EIGHTH NERVE COMPOUND ACTION POTENTIAL
听神经复合动作电位适应性的定量研究

In this paper we studied the relationship between the masking effects of eighth nerve compound action potential (CAP) and various stimulus parameters when the experiment animals were stimulated with click trains. The results showed; (1).The masking effect of the CAP evoked by a pair of clidks decreased with the increase of the inteval between the two clicks. (2). The louder the masker, or the weaker the maskee, the more obvious the masking effect, and the longer the time for recovery. (3). When the number of maskers (N) increased, the masking effect on the N + 1th response became more obvious. But when N was larger than a certain value, the masking effect would not strengthen further.
