Pitch discrimination of harmonic complex signals: Residue pitch or multiple component discriminations?

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.

Musical Pitch Perception and Categorization in Listeners with No Musical Training Experience: Insights from Mandarin-Speaking Non-Musicians

Behavioral Sciences
Pitch is a fundamental element in music. While most previous studies on musical pitch have focused on musicians, our understanding of musical pitch perception in non-musicians is still limited.

Haptics in music: the effects of vibrotactile stimulus in low frequency auditory difference detection tasks [PDF]

, 2016
We present an experiment that investigated the effect of vibrotactile stimulation in auditory pitch discrimination tasks. Extra-auditory information was expected to have some influence upon the frequency discrimination of auditory Just Noticeable ...

Pitch Discrimination for Synthetic Vowels [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1957
A psychoacoustic experiment to determine the just-discriminable changes in the fundamental frequency of synthetic vowels is described. The experimental parameters investigated are several combinations of four vowels (|i, æ, ɑ, u|), three sound pressure levels (60, 70, and 80 db re 0.0002 dyne/cm2) and two fundamental frequencies (80 and 120 cps).

Hierarchical Summary Statistics Encoding Across Primary Visual and Posterior Parietal Cortices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study shows that mouse V1 simultaneously encodes the ensemble mean and variance of motion, providing a robust summary‐statistic representation that persists despite single‐neuron variability. These signals propagate to PPC, where they are transformed into abstract category representations during decision making.

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.

Deficits in the pitch sensitivity of cochlear-implanted children speaking English or Mandarin

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014
Sensitivity to complex pitch is notoriously poor in adults with cochlear implants (CIs), but it is unclear whether this is true for children with CIs.

Context effects on second-language learning of tonal contrasts. [PDF]

, 2015
Studies of lexical tone  learning generally focus on monosyllabic contexts, while reports of phonetic learning benefits associated with input variability are based largely on experienced learners.

Microscale Mapping of Fiber Strain and Damage in Composite Wrinkled Laminates Using Computed Tomography Assisted Wide‐Angle X‐Ray Scattering

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines full‐field tomography with diffraction mapping to quantify radial (ε002$\varepsilon _{002}$) and axial (ε100$\varepsilon _{100}$) lattice strain in wrinkled carbon‐fiber specimens for the first time. Radial microstrain gradients (−14.5 µεMPa$\varepsilon \mathrm{MPa}$−1) are found to signal damage‐prone zones ahead of failure, which ...
