Pitch perception
TLDR
A review of the psychophysical study of pitch perception can be found in this article, where the authors show that the pitch of complex stimuli is likely based on the temporal regularities in a sound's waveform, with the strongest pitches occurring for stimuli with low-frequency components.Abstract:
This article is a review of the psychophysical study of pitch perception. The history of the study of pitch has seen a continual competition between spectral and temporal theories of pitch perception. The pitch of complex stimuli is likely based on the temporal regularities in a sound’s waveform, with the strongest pitches occurring for stimuli with low-frequency components. Thus, temporal models, especially those based on autocorrelationlike processes, appear to account for the majority of the data.read more

Emergence of the Distinction Between “Verbal” and “Musical” in Early Childhood Development
TL;DR: In this paper, a tonal analysis of children's original (nonimitative) vocalizations in their developmental succession throughout the first 3 years of life casts light on several important acoustic features that play an important role in separating music skills from verbal skills and shaping the primordial music system the infant uses to address his/her musical needs.

A common computational principle for vibrotactile pitch perception in mouse and human.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors established a mechanistic relationship between vibrotactile pitch perception and the physical properties of vibrations using behavioral tasks, in which vibratory stimuli were delivered to the human fingertip or the mouse forelimb.

Pitch strength of noise-vocoded harmonic tone complexes in normal-hearing listeners
TL;DR: The results suggest that spectral processing contributes substantially to pitch perception in normal-hearing listeners.

Common computational principle for vibro-tactile pitch perception in mouse and human
TL;DR: A mechanistic relationship is established between vibro-tactile pitch perception and the actual physical properties of vibrations using behavioral tasks, in which vibratory stimuli were delivered to the human fingertip or the mouse forelimb and found that the perceptually indistinguishable but physically different stimuli follow a common computational principle in mouse and human.

Frequency-Temporal Attention Network for Singing Melody Extraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a frequency-temporal attention network was proposed to mimic human auditory for singing melody extraction, where the frequency attention module was used to select the same activation frequency bands as did in cochlear and the temporal attention module is responsible for analyzing temporal patterns.

A Scale for the Measurement of the Psychological Magnitude Pitch
TL;DR: A subjective scale for the measurement of pitch was constructed from determinations of the half-value of pitches at various frequencies as mentioned in this paper, which differs from both the musical scale and the frequency scale, neither of which is subjective.

Pitch, consonance, and harmony
TL;DR: Comparison of recent psychoacoustic data on consonance with those on roughness reveals that “psychoacoustic consonance” merely corresponds to the absence of roughness and is only slightly and indirectly correlated with musical intervals, so psychoac acoustic consonance cannot be considered as the basis of the sense of musical intervals.

Time‐domain modeling of peripheral auditory processing: A modular architecture and a software platform
TL;DR: A software package with a modular architecture has been developed to support perceptual modeling of the fine-grain spectro-temporal information observed in the auditory nerve, including new forms of periodicity-sensitive temporal integration that generate stabilized auditory images.

The neuronal representation of pitch in primate auditory cortex
Daniel Bendor,Xiaoqin Wang +1 more
TL;DR: The existence of neurons in the auditory cortex of marmoset monkeys that respond to both pure tones and missing fundamental harmonic complex sounds with the same f0, providing a neural correlate for pitch constancy are shown.

Periodicity coding in the inferior colliculus of the cat. I. Neuronal mechanisms
TL;DR: Intrinsic oscillations of short duration, i.e., regularly timed discharges of units in response to stimuli without a corresponding temporal structure, were frequently observed in the ICC and were commonly found to be integer multiples of 0.4 ms.
