Fundamental frequency and vowel perception [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1981 The set of nine nondiphthong vowels of American English were synthesized using the male formant values from Peterson and Barney [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 24, 175–184 (1952)]. These vowels were produced in three conditions of the fundamental frequency: (1) average 135 Hz, (2) low 100 Hz, and (3) high 250 Hz.

Just-Noticeable Differences of Fundamental Frequency Change in Mandarin-Speaking Children with Cochlear Implants [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Fundamental frequency (F0) provides the primary acoustic cue for lexical tone perception in tonal languages but remains poorly represented in cochlear implant (CI) systems.

The neural response at the fundamental frequency of speech is modulated by word-level acoustic and linguistic information [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Spoken language comprehension requires rapid and continuous integration of information, from lower-level acoustic to higher-level linguistic features. Much of this processing occurs in the cerebral cortex.

Effect of lowest harmonic rank on fundamental-frequency difference limens varies with fundamental frequency. [PDF]
J Acoust Soc Am, 2020 This study investigated the relationship between fundamental frequency difference limens (F0DLs) and the lowest harmonic number present over a wide range of F0s (30–2000 Hz) for 12-component harmonic complex tones that were presented in either sine or random phase. For fundamental frequencies (F0s) between 100 and 400 Hz, a transition from low (∼1%) to

An approximate Bayesian fundamental frequency estimator [PDF]
2012 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2012 Joint fundamental frequency and model order estimation is an important problem in several applications such as speech and music processing. In this paper, we develop an approximate estimation algorithm of these quantities using Bayesian inference. The inference about the fundamental frequency and the model order is based on a probability model which ...

Off-Grid Fundamental Frequency Estimation
IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing, 2018 In this paper, we propose a gridless method for estimating an unknown number of fundamental frequencies. Starting with a conventional dictionary matrix, containing sets of candidate fundamental frequencies and their corresponding harmonics, a nonconvex log-sum cost function is formed such that it imposes the harmonic structure and treats every ...

Acoustic allometry revisited: morphological determinants of fundamental frequency in primate vocal production [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 A fundamental issue in the evolution of communication is the degree to which signals convey accurate (“honest”) information about the signaler. In bioacoustics, the assumption that fundamental frequency (fo) should correlate with the body size of the ...
