TL;DR: This work synthesized stimuli that they call ‘auditory chimaeras’, which have the envelope of one sound and the fine structure of another, and shows that the envelope is most important for speech reception, and thefine structure is mostImportant for pitch perception and sound localization.

TL;DR: The temporal discharge patterns of auditory nerve fibers in Dial-anesthetized cats were studied in response to periodic complex acoustic waveforms that evoke pitches at their fundamental frequencies, suggesting that existence of a central processor capable of analyzing these interval patterns could provide a unified explanation for many different aspects of pitch perception.

TL;DR: This paper addresses the neural correlates of stimuli that produce more complex patterns of pitch judgments, such as shifts in pitch and multiple pitches, and investigates the relation between pitches associated with periodicity and those associated with click rate.

TL;DR: The antimasking effects of olivocochlear (OC) efferent feedback were studied in anesthetized or decerebrate cats by comparing responses of single auditory-nerve fibers to tone bursts in continuous masking noise seen with and without addition of a moderate-level contralateral noise known to activate the OC reflex.

TL;DR: Discharge patterns of auditory-nerve fibers in anesthetized cats were recorded in response to a set of nine steady-state, two-formant vowels presented at 60 and 75 dB SPL.
