Representations of pitch and slow modulation in auditory cortex [PDF]

, 2013
Iterated ripple noise (IRN) is a type of pitch-evoking stimulus that is commonly used in neuroimaging studies of pitch processing. When contrasted with a spectrally matched Gaussian noise, it is known to produce a consistent response in a region of ...

The effect of stimulus range on two-interval frequency discrimination [PDF]

, 2008
It has traditionally been thought that performance in two-interval frequency discrimination tasks decreases as the range over which the standard tone varies is increased. Recent empirical evidence and a reexamination of previous results suggest that this

Non-invasive brain-stimulation applied to Heschl's gyrus modulates pitch discrimination

Frontiers in Psychology, 2010
The neural basis of the human brain's ability to discriminate pitch has been investigated by functional neuroimaging and the study of lesioned brains, indicating the critical importance of right and left Heschl's gyrus (HG) in pitch perception ...

Change detection of auditory tonal patterns defined by absolute versus relative pitch information. A combined behavioural and EEG study.

PLoS ONE, 2021
The human auditory system often relies on relative pitch information to extract and identify auditory objects; such as when the same melody is played in different keys.

Comparison between pitch discrimination in normal children, children with hearing aids, and children with cochlear implant

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.

The effect of stimulus context on pitch representations in the human auditory cortex [PDF]

, 2010
Neuroimaging studies of pitch coding seek to identify pitch-related responses separate from responses to other properties of the stimulus, such as its energy onset, and other general aspects of the listening context.

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.

Central auditory masking by an illusory tone [PDF]

, 2013
Many natural sounds fluctuate over time. The detectability of sounds in a sequence can be reduced by prior stimulation in a process known as forward masking.

Adapting to the Sound of Music — Development of Music Discrimination Skills in Recently Implanted CI Users

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 ...
