Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A computational theory of the peripheral auditory system is discussed in the manner of D.Marr. A 'gammachirp' function is found to be the optimal auditory filter in terms of minimal uncertainty if the time-scale representation is calculated in the auditory system. Wavelet configuration is optimal for the auditory filterbank above 800Hz in terms of invariability in the scale representation. A 'delta-gamma' theory was introduced to explain temporal asymmetry in auditory perception. The theory can also explain physiological firing patterns of an inner hair-cell and some neurons in the Cochlear Nucleus.
