Pitch Perception [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Neuroscience, 2012
Pitch is one of the primary auditory sensations and plays a defining role in music, speech, and auditory scene analysis. Although the main physical correlate of pitch is acoustic periodicity, or repetition rate, there are many interactions that complicate the relationship between the physical stimulus and the perception of pitch.

Nonlinear Dynamics of the Perceived Pitch of Complex Sounds [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
We apply results from nonlinear dynamics to an old problem in acoustical physics: the mechanism of the perception of the pitch of sounds, especially the sounds known as complex tones that are important for music and speech ...

Clinical Assessment of Pitch Perception [PDF]

open access: yesOtology & Neurotology, 2011
The perception of pitch has recently gained attention. At present, clinical audiologic tests to assess this are hardly available. This article reports on the development of a clinical test using harmonic intonation (HI) and disharmonic intonation (DI).Prospective collection of normative data and pilot study in hearing-impaired subjects.Tertiary ...

A Neurophysiological Study of Musical Pitch Identification in Mandarin-Speaking Cochlear Implant Users

open access: yesNeural 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.

Pitch-Responsive Cortical Regions in Congenital Amusia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Congenital amusia is a lifelong deficit in music perception thought to reflect an underlying impairment in the perception and memory of pitch. The neural basis of amusic impairments is actively debated. Some prior studies have suggested that amusia stems
