Overview of stimulation protocols
| Stimulus protocol | Binaural vs monaural | Binaural correlation | Noise type | Sound level/ABI | ILD | Stimulus duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ILD tuning curve | Binaural | 100% | Unfrozen | Constant (40 dB) | −40 to 40 dB | 100 ms |
| ILDf | Binaural | 100% | Unfrozen | Varying | Varying | 100 ms |
| Monaural intensity | Monaural | N/A | Unfrozen | 10 dB to 80 dB | N/A | 100 ms |
| STRF estimation | Binaural | 0% | Unfrozen | Constant (40 dB) | 2 ILDs over dynamic range | 500 ms |
| Response reliability, ILD protocol | Binaural | 100% | Frozen | Constant (40 dB) | 2–3 ILDs over dynamic range | 500 ms |
| Response reliability, ILDf protocol | Binaural | 100% | Frozen | Varying | Varying | 500 ms |
| Response reliability, monaural excitation protocol | Monaural | N/A | Frozen | 2–3 dBs in dynamic range | N/A | 500 ms |
