Periodicity Pitch Perception. [PDF]
Front Neurosci, 2020 This study presents a computational model to reproduce the biological dynamics of “listening to music.” A biologically plausible model of periodicity pitch detection is proposed and simulated.

Integrating Voice Quality Cues in the Pitch Perception of Speech and Non-speech Utterances [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Pitch perception plays a crucial role in speech processing. Since F0 is highly ambiguous and variable in the speech signal, effective pitch-range perception is important in perceiving the intended linguistic pitch targets.

Musical Pitch Perception and Categorization in Listeners with No Musical Training Experience: Insights from Mandarin-Speaking Non-Musicians. [PDF]
Behav Sci (Basel)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.

Musicianship Influences Language Effect on Musical Pitch Perception. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2021 Given its practical implications, the effect of musicianship on language learning has been vastly researched. Interestingly, growing evidence also suggests that language experience can facilitate music perception.

A duplex theory of pitch perception [PDF]
Experientia, 1951 In the theories of pitch perception now widely supported, pitch is regarded as a unitary attribute of auditory experience. There is good evidence, however, that there are actually two pitch-like attributes, and it is reasonable to suppose that the duplexity of pitch is a reflection of duplexity in the auditory process.

Enduring musician advantage among former musicians in prosodic pitch perception. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2023 Musical training has been associated with various cognitive benefits, one of which is enhanced speech perception. However, most findings have been based on musicians taking part in ongoing music lessons and practice.

The comparative effects of Cantonese and Mandarin tone language backgrounds on musical pitch perception. [PDF]
Sci RepExisting studies on language-to-music language transfer suggest that tone language background enhances musical pitch perception. However, tone language background was underrepresented as a binary yes-or-no variable in these studies.

Dynamics of Pitch Perception in the Auditory Cortex. [PDF]
J NeurosciAbstract The ability to perceive pitch allows human listeners to experience music, recognize the identity and emotion conveyed by conversational partners, and make sense of their auditory environment. A pitch percept is formed by weighting different acoustic cues (e.g., signal fundamental frequency and inter-harmonic spacing) and ...

Enhanced sensitivity to pitch perception and its possible relation to language acquisition in autism. [PDF]
Autism Dev Lang ImpairBackground and aims Fascinations for or aversions to particular sounds are a familiar feature of autism, as is an ability to reproduce another person's utterances, precisely copying the other person's prosody as well as their words.
