Hi, Does anyone know how the cochlear AGC can be modelled? Suppose a short tone burst hits the cochlear, how long does it take for the "gain" to be reduced? And then to recover? Are we talking 1 millisec or 1000 millisecs? [Or 0 millisecs i.e. the transfer function is more like an amplitude compander, without any time aspect] And is this AGC very frequency specific - narrow nand, or perhaps critical band? Or does the cochear not really work like an electronic AGC [or compander] at all? kind regards, Richard
