The relative importance of neural temporal and place coding in auditory perception is still a
matter of much debate. The current article is a compilation of viewpoints from leading …

It is widely appreciated that the key predictor of the pitch of a sound is its periodicity. Neural
structures which support pitch perception must therefore be able to reflect the repetition rate …

Variations in the spectral shape of harmonic tone complexes are perceived as timbre
changes and can lead to poorer fundamental frequency (F0) or pitch discrimination. Less is …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the responsiveness of the pitch-shift
reflex to small magnitude stimuli and voice fundamental frequency (F 0) level. English …

Melodies, speech, and other stimuli that vary in pitch are processed largely in terms of the
relative pitch differences between sounds. Relative representations permit recognition of …

Congenital amusia is a neurogenetic disorder that affects music processing and that is
ascribed to a deficit in pitch processing. We investigated whether this deficit extended to …

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 …

A perceptual phenomenon is reported, whereby prior acoustic context has a large, rapid and
long-lasting effect on a basic auditory judgement. Pairs of tones were devised to include …

Recent evidence suggests that sensitivity to the temporal fine structure (TFS) of sounds is
adversely affected by cochlear hearing loss. This may partly explain the difficulties …

Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …
