About ac-3

Summary of the data.

The data contain dense single-unit recordings from the primary auditory cortex (AI) of rats anesthetized with ketamine/xylazine during the presentation of dynamic broadband stimuli. The data also includes the stimulus parameters for the two types of dynamic broadband stimuli used. The data was used to produce results described in the following paper:
