Individual differences in the discrimination of novel speech sounds: effects of sex, temporal processing, musical and cognitive abilities [PDF]
, 2012 This study examined whether rapid temporal auditory processing, verbal working memory capacity, non-verbal intelligence, executive functioning, musical ability and prior foreign language experience predicted how well native English speakers (N = 120 ...

Assessing intonation skills in a tertiary music training programme [PDF]
, 1996 [Abstract]: Buttsworth, Fogarty, and Rorke (1993) reported the construction of a battery of tonal tests designed to assess intonation abilities. A subset of the tests in the battery predicted 36 per cent of final scores in an aural training subject in a ...

The Egyptian Journal of Otolaryngology, 2019 Background Cochlear hearing loss causes variations in the way that sounds are represented in the auditory system and for cochlear implant (Cl) users, pitch information that is transmitted to the central nervous system is not ideal.

Sound frequency affects speech emotion perception: Results from congenital amusia
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Congenital amusics, or tone-deaf individuals, show difficulty in perceiving and producing small pitch differences. While amusia has marked effects on music perception, its impact on speech perception is less clear.

Task-dependent activations of human auditory cortex during pitch discrimination and pitch memory tasks [PDF]
, 2009 "The functional organization of auditory cortex (AC) is still poorly understood. Previous studies suggest segregation of auditory processing streams for spatial and nonspatial information located in the posterior and anterior AC, respectively ...

Trends in Hearing, 2023 Cochlear implants (CIs) are optimized for speech perception but poor in conveying musical sound features such as pitch, melody, and timbre. Here, we investigated the early development of discrimination of musical sound features after cochlear ...

Pitch Perception With the Temporal Limits Encoder for Cochlear Implants
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022 The temporal-limits-encoder (TLE) strategy has been proposed to enhance the representation of temporal fine structure (TFS) in cochlear implants (CIs), which is vital for many aspects of sound perception but is typically discarded by most modern CI ...

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 ...

Neural Plasticity, 2020 Music perception in cochlear implant (CI) users is far from satisfactory, not only because of the technological limitations of current CI devices but also due to the neurophysiological alterations that generally accompany deafness.
