1 Calculating Tonal Fusion by The Generalizes Coincidence Function Martin Ebeling mar.ebeling@arcor.de Abstract 1. Background Based on the frequency analysis of the cochlea and the volley principle, as Wever (1949) described it, periodic sound is represented in the auditory system by periodic firing patterns. Cariani Delgutte (1996) have shown that the distribution of interspike intervals (ISI) between all spikes in the auditory nerve provide a code of acoustical information. A time series analysis of neural spike trains leads to autocorrelation histograms that show maxima
