Several theories have been proposed to account for how the auditory system differentiates various pitches. First, time coding of pitch perception asserts that frequency is coded by the …

Stages of processing in the auditory system and their function. Detection, localization and recognition of sounds. Subjective and objective variables and experiments.

There are two “classical” ways in which the frequency of a pure tone might be coded within the peripheral auditory system, using either a place or time code. The first potential code, known …

This article reviews some basic aspects of pitch coding in the normal auditory system and explores the implications for pitch perception in people with hearing impairments and cochlear …

our auditory systems to locate sound sources in space. The auditory system is designed to extract and process all these salient features of sound – to encode pitch in octaves, loudness in …

In 1951, Licklider proposed a “duplex theory of pitch” stating that the auditory system performs a running autocorrelation analysis is performed in each frequency channel. The model’s output …

The auditory system accepts them as "nearly harmonic'' and identifies/assigns a virtual pitch. Roger Shepard and others having taken advantage of residual pitch to produce an auditory …

In this work, we show that electrophysiological responses during pitch perception are best explained by distributed activity in a hierarchy of cortical sources and, crucially, that the …

This article reviews some recent developments in the study of pitch coding and perception and focuses on the topic of how pitch information is extracted from peripheral representations …

The network of pitch-sensitive regions in auditory cortex may exist to support a variety of periodicity judgments, which are distinguishable based on either function (i.e. pitch directions …

Jan 1, 2014 · FFR studies have contributed to evidence that the auditory system codes pitch initially in terms of the phase-locked activity of auditory nerve fibers, although there is …

Jan 1, 1999 · This paper outlines a taxonomy of neural pulse codes and reviews neurophysiological evidence for interspike interval-based representations for pitch and timbre …

Psychophysical techniques, combined with physiology, neuroimaging, and computational modeling, have solved some of the long-standing questions that surround how pitch is …

Pitch, the perceptual correlate of a sound’s frequency, is a fundamental attribute in speech and melody perception. We utilized individual differences across listeners with normal and …

REVIEW CONTENT: The review describes: 1) the coding in the normal auditory system of overall level (which partly determines perceived loudness), spectral shape (which partly determines …

Sep 18, 2012 · This article provides an understanding of how the auditory system processes pitch which has direct implications for cochlear implant design and speech recognition technologies. …

This paper outlines a taxonomy of neural pulse codes and reviews neurophysiological evidence for interspike interval-based representations for pitch and timbre in the auditory nerve and …

Mar 3, 2025 · “Even though these pitch patterns vary each time we speak, our brains create stable representations to understand them.” Gnanataja says the research also revealed that …
