Pitch discrimination of harmonic complex signals: Residue pitch or multiple component discriminations? [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1985 Two models for pitch discrimination of harmonic complex sounds are discussed, a multiple-band probability summation model using comparisons among component frequencies, and a model in which residue pitches are compared. The second model is based on Goldstein’s optimum-processor pitch theory [J. Acoust. Soc. Am.

Pitch discrimination in locusts
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences, 1961 Abstract Sound stimulation of the tympanic organ of Locusta migratoria and Schistocerca gregaria initiates responses in the tympanic nerve and these in turn stimulate a few interneurones which ascend the ventral cord from the metathoracic ganglion to the brain.

Pitch discrimination of patterned electric stimulation [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2005 One reason for the poor pitch performance in current cochlear-implant users may be the highly synchronized neural firing in electric hearing that lacks stochastic properties of neural firing in normal acoustic hearing. This study used three different electric stimulation patterns, jittered, probabilistic, and auditory-model-generated pulses, to mimic ...

Pitch discrimination associated with phonological awareness: Evidence from congenital amusia. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Research suggests that musical skills are associated with phonological abilities. To further investigate this association, we examined whether phonological impairments are evident in individuals with poor music abilities.

Subcortical neural synchrony and absolute thresholds predict frequency discrimination independently [PDF]
, 2013 The neural mechanisms of pitch coding have been debated for more than a century. The two main mechanisms are coding based on the profiles of neural firing rates across auditory nerve fibers with different characteristic frequencies (place-rate coding ...

Pitch Processing in Children with Williams Syndrome: Relationships between Music and Prosody Skills
Brain Sciences, 2014 Williams syndrome (WS), a genetic neurodevelopmental disorder, has been taken as evidence that music and language constitute separate modules. This research focused on the linguistic component of prosody and aimed to assess whether relationships exist ...

Numeric aspects in pitch identification: an fMRI study
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background Pitch identification had yielded unique response patterns compared to other auditory skills. Selecting one out of numerous pitches distinguished this task from detecting a pitch ascent.
