Pitch-induced illusory percepts of time
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2022 Abstract Past research suggests that pitch height can influence the perceived tempo of speech and music, such that higher-pitched signals seem faster than lower-pitched ones. However, previous studies have analyzed perceived tempo across a relatively limited range of fundamental frequencies.

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users
South African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996 The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

The role of pitch and timbre in voice gender categorization
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Voice gender perception can be thought of as a mixture of low-level perceptual feature extraction and higher-level cognitive processes. Although it seems apparent that voice gender perception would rely on low-level pitch analysis, many lines of research

Pitch perception beyond the traditional existence region of pitch [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Humans’ ability to recognize musical melodies is generally limited to pure-tone frequencies below 4 or 5 kHz. This limit coincides with the highest notes on modern musical instruments and is widely believed to reflect the upper limit of precise stimulus-driven spike timing in the auditory nerve. We tested the upper limits of pitch and melody perception

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.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Language and music are complex cognitive and neural functions that rely on awareness of one’s own sound productions. Information on the awareness of vocal pitch, and its relation to phonemic awareness which is crucial for learning to read, will be ...

Precision of pitch memory and accuracy of pitch labeling in absolute pitch perception
Journal of Human Environmental Studies, 2014 Absolute pitch (AP) is assumed to involve both pitch memory and pitch labeling for musical pitches. While people with AP possess both, non-AP individuals possess only pitch memory.

Acoustic Measures Capture Speech Dysfunction in Spinocerebellar Ataxia
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are hereditary cerebellar degenerative disorders with a common feature of dysarthria, involving impaired phonatory and articulatory control of speech, thereby affecting social communication. In this study, we investigated whether acoustic measures could objectively measure speech dysfunction and identify
