This chapter summarizes a neural model of how humans use pitch-based information to
separate and attentively track multiple voices or instruments in distinct auditory streams, as …

Multiple sound sources often contain harmonics that overlap and may be degraded by
environmental noise. The auditory system is capable of teasing apart these sources into …

In environments with multiple sound sources, the auditory system is capable of teasing apart
the impinging jumbled signal into different mental objects, or streams, as in its ability to solve …

A model of pitch perception, called the spatial pitch network or SPINET model, is developed
and analyzed. The model neurally instantiates ideas from the spectral pitch modeling …

Humans and other animals can attend to one of multiple sounds, and follow it selectively
over time. The neural underpinnings of this perceptual feat remain mysterious. Some studies …

Connectionist models of perception and cognition, including the process of deducing
meaningful messages from patterns of acoustic waves emitted by vocal tracts, are …

Many studies have been devoted to characterizing the stimulus-related factors that govern
the perceptual organization of sound sequences, and more specifically, how the …

4. Conclusions and Prospect The relationship between pitch and the perception of mixtures
of sound is a rich one, which we are only beginning to understand. In the perception of pitch …

What is the neural representation of a speech code as it evolves in time? How do listeners
integrate temporally distributed phonemic information across hundreds of milliseconds, even …

Linguistic and musical pitch provide an analytic window to evaluate how neural
representations of important pitch attributes of a sound undergo transformation from early …
