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

Can nonlinguistic musical training change the way the brain processes speech? The expanded OPERA hypothesis.
TL;DR: A conceptual framework for understanding such effects based on mechanisms of neural plasticity is offered, and initial data from a new study motivated by the OPERA hypothesis is presented, focusing on the impact of musical training on speech perception in cochlear-implant users.

Left hemisphere lateralization for lexical and acoustic pitch processing in Cantonese speakers as revealed by mismatch negativity
TL;DR: The mismatch negativity elicited by lexical pitch contrast was lateralized to the left hemisphere, which is consistent with the pattern of function-dependent brain asymmetry (i.e., left hemisphere lateralization for speech processing) in nontonal language speakers.

TL;DR: It is important to maintain an updated understanding of the scope of the issues present in this population and to continue to identify those solutions that can provide measurable improvements in the lives of Veterans who have been exposed to high-intensity blasts during the course of their military service.

Empirical evidence for musical syntax processing? Computer simulations reveal the contribution of auditory short-term memory.

TL;DR: Simulation of empirical studies that investigated the processing of harmonic structures revealed that most of the musical syntax manipulations used with behavioral and neurophysiological methods as well as with developmental and cross-cultural approaches can be accounted for by the auditory memory model, leading to question whether current research on musical syntax can really be compared with linguistic processing.

Evolution of tonal organization in music mirrors symbolic representation of perceptual reality. Part-1: Prehistoric
TL;DR: The way in which musical pitch works as a peculiar form of cognition that reflects upon the organization of the surrounding world as perceived by majority of music users within a socio-cultural formation is revealed.

Psychophysical evidence against the autocorrelation theory of auditory temporal processing
TL;DR: It is suggested that the extraction of temporal information from a group of closely spaced spectral components makes no use of time intervals between nonconsecutive peaks of the amplitude envelope, which does not tally with the current autocorrelation models of temporal processing.

An autocorrelation model with place dependence to account for the effect of harmonic number on fundamental frequency discrimination.
TL;DR: A modified unitary pitch model was able to account for the dependence of f0 DLs on harmonic number, although this correct behavior was not based on peripheral harmonic resolvability.

Temporal asymmetry in the auditory system
Toshio Irino,Roy D. Patterson +1 more
TL;DR: A "delta-gamma" theory is developed to provide a framework for understanding temporal asymmetry in the auditory system and is used to compare theporal asymmetry produced by several auditory models and to explain when and how they can accommodate the perceptual asymmetry observed in the experiments.

The effects of relative phase and the number of components on residue pitch.
TL;DR: The pitch of the residue produced by 6‐ and 12‐component waves whose components were either in cosine or random phase was measured as a function of the frequency region of the components, finding Waves with the same lowest component were found to produce the same pitch.
