Thus,auditorynervefiring does not seem to respond exclusively to absolute levels of acoustic energy.

There has to be a lot of processing of this information because theauditorynervejust passes along frequency information.

Theauditorynerveis a bundle of approximately 10,000 fibres made up of millions of cells.

The counting used in our ear is in certain respects not regular, it is a statistical counting of the firings of electric impulses by theauditorynervecells.

The electrodes then stimulate theauditorynerve.
From theCambridge English Corpus
As a sudden onset of spectral energy produces a heightenedauditorynerveresponse, those articulatory configurations which produce an abrupt rise in spectral energy are most valued by phonological systems.

Some correlates of phonetic distinctions at the level of theauditorynerve.

The evoked potential in theauditorynervescales with c(t) (cf. section 3.2).
From theCambridge English Corpus
The mechanical ear changes sound waves into electrical patterns which are passed along theauditorynerve to the part of the cortex in the temporal lobe of the brain.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Briefly, there are around 30,000auditorynervefibres in each of the two auditory nerves.
