TLDR
A perceptual experiment shows that random click trains with a uniform interclick distribution can be reliably pitch-matched to pseudo-periodic click trains and similar cues are found in either first-order or all-order interspike interval statistics.Abstract:
A perceptual experiment shows that random click trains with a uniform interclick distribution can be reliably pitch-matched to pseudo-periodic click trains. The pitch matches cannot be explained on the basis of mean rate, power spectrum, or autocorrelation of the waveform. The matches are qualitatively, but not quantitatively, consistent with the most common interspike interval present in responses of single units from the ventral cochlear nucleus of anaesthetised guinea pigs. The physiological recordings also demonstrate that at the level of the cochlear nucleus, similar cues are found in either first-order or all-order interspike interval statistics.read more

Pitch strength of regular-interval click trains with different length ``runs'' of regular intervals
TL;DR: The results indicate that fine-structure regularity plays a more important role in pitch perception than randomness, and that the long-term autocorrelation function or spectra of these click trains are not good predictors of pitch strength.

Hemodynamic response varies across tactile stimuli with different temporal structures
TL;DR: It is concluded that different temporal structures of tactile stimuli induced different HRFs, which are essential for vibrotactile perception and should be considered in fMRI experimental designs and analyses.

Discrimination of first- and second-order regular intervals from random intervals as a function of high-pass filter cutoff frequency
TL;DR: While RIS click trains with first-order intervals are more easily discriminated from random-interval stimuli than second-order interval RIS click train, discrimination based on second- order intervals is possible except when the stimuli are high-pass filtered above 8 kHz, i.e., above the spectral region of phase locking.

Abstracts of the British Society of Audiology Short Papers Meeting on Experimental Studies of Hearing and Deafness September 2006, Cambridge University, UK
TL;DR: The aim of the study was to examine the auditory function during the ovarian cycle in a group of women, and in agroup of men with normal hearing over a similar period of time, and to examine gender differences in auditory function.

Manifestation of peripherial coding in the effect of increasing loudness and enhanced discrimination of the intensity of tone bursts before and after tone burst noise
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of the complementary distributions of spike activity of an ensemble of space nerves was performed for the complementary distribution of time instants when spikes occur, the distribution of interspike intervals, and the autocorrelation function.

Derivation of auditory filter shapes from notched-noise data
TL;DR: Modifications to the fitting procedure are described which allow more accurate derivations of filter shapes derived from data where the notch is always placed symmetrically about the signal frequency and when the underlying filter is markedly asymmetric.

On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music
TL;DR: On the Sensations of Tone as mentioned in this paper is a classic text for the study of physiological acoustics and aesthetics and has been translated into English in 1875 from the third German edition, making it accessible to nonspecialists.

An optimum processor theory for the central formation of the pitch of complex tones
TL;DR: A theory was formulated for the central formation of the pitch of complex tones, i.e., periodicity pitch, which is a logical deduction from statistical estimation theory of the optimal estimate for fundamental frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI
A duplex theory of pitch perception
TL;DR: Of the two methods, one--frequency analysis performed by an array of band-pass filters--has been incorporated into auditory theory, and the possibility that the other method, autocorrelationaI analysis, plays a role in the auditory process has been neglected.

Neural correlates of the pitch of complex tones. I. Pitch and pitch salience
Peter Cariani,Bertrand Delgutte +1 more
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.
