Sensitivity to frequency modulation is limited centrally

KL Whiteford, AJ Oxenham - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Modulations in both amplitude and frequency are prevalent in natural sounds and are critical
in defining their properties. Humans are exquisitely sensitive to frequency modulation (FM) …

Dual coding of frequency modulation in the ventral cochlear nucleus

N Paraouty, A Stasiak, C Lorenzi, L Varnet… - Journal of …, 2018 - Soc Neuroscience
Frequency modulation (FM) is a common acoustic feature of natural sounds and is known to
play a role in robust sound source recognition. Auditory neurons show precise stimulus …

Frequency-dependent fine structure in the frequency-following response: The byproduct of multiple generators

P Tichko, E Skoe - Hearing research, 2017 - Elsevier
The frequency-following response (FFR) is an auditory-evoked response recorded at the
scalp that captures the spectrotemporal properties of tonal stimuli. Previous investigations …

Oscillatory entrainment of the frequency-following response in auditory cortical and subcortical structures

EBJ Coffey, I Arseneau-Bruneau, X Zhang… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
There is much debate about the existence and function of neural oscillatory mechanisms in
the auditory system. The frequency-following response (FFR) is an index of neural …

Using individual differences to test the role of temporal and place cues in coding frequency modulation

KL Whiteford, AJ Oxenham - The Journal of the Acoustical Society of …, 2015 - pubs.aip.org
The question of how frequency is coded in the peripheral auditory system remains
unresolved. Previous research has suggested that slow rates of frequency modulation (FM) …

Assessing mechanisms of frequency discrimination by comparison of different measures over a wide frequency range

BCJ Moore, Vinay - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
It has been hypothesized that auditory detection of frequency modulation (FM) for low FM
rates depends on the use of both temporal (phase locking) and place cues, depending on …

The role of cochlear place coding in the perception of frequency modulation

KL Whiteford, HA Kreft, AJ Oxenham - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Natural sounds convey information via frequency and amplitude modulations (FM and AM).
Humans are acutely sensitive to the slow rates of FM that are crucial for speech and music …

Periodicity and frequency coding in human auditory cortex

DA Hall, AM Edmondson‐Jones… - European Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Understanding the neural coding of pitch and frequency is fundamental to the understanding
of speech comprehension, music perception and the segregation of concurrent sound …

Assessing the role of place and timing cues in coding frequency and amplitude modulation as a function of age

KL Whiteford, HA Kreft, AJ Oxenham - … of the Association for Research in …, 2017 - Springer
Natural sounds can be characterized by their fluctuations in amplitude and frequency.
Ageing may affect sensitivity to some forms of fluctuations more than others. The present …

Encoding frequency contrast in primate auditory cortex

BJ Malone, BH Scott… - Journal of …, 2014 - journals.physiology.org
Changes in amplitude and frequency jointly determine much of the communicative
significance of complex acoustic signals, including human speech. We have previously …
