Abstract
⺠How the auditory system represents sounds invariantly across the full intensity range of hearing is an unresolved problem. ⺠Individual neurons spanning narrow, overlapping dynamic ranges appear to contribute to this ability. ⺠Individual neurons adapting to recent stimulus statistics in complementary fashion appear to contribute to this ability. ⺠Unique spectral response classes appear to contribute to this ability. ⺠How these factors and possibly others combine to create intensity-invariance of sound perception awaits further investigation.
