Best frequencies and temporal delays are similar across the low-frequency regions of the guinea pig cochlea

G Burwood, P Hakizimana, AL Nuttall, A Fridberger - Science Advances, 2022 - science.org
The cochlea maps tones with different frequencies to distinct anatomical locations. For
instance, a faint 5000-hertz tone produces brisk responses at a place approximately 8 …

Questions and controversies surrounding the perception and neural coding of pitch

AJ Oxenham - Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 - frontiersin.org
Pitch is a fundamental aspect of auditory perception that plays an important role in our ability
to understand speech, appreciate music, and attend to one sound while ignoring others. The …

The roles of temporal envelope and fine structure information in auditory perception

BCJ Moore - Acoustical Science and Technology, 2019 - jstage.jst.go.jp
Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

The role of cochlear place coding in the perception of frequency modulation

KL Whiteford, HA Kreft, AJ Oxenham - Elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Natural sounds convey information via frequency and amplitude modulations (FM and AM).
Humans are acutely sensitive to the slow rates of FM that are crucial for speech and music …

Frequency-dependent integration of auditory and vestibular cues for self-motion perception

CS Shayman, RJ Peterka, FJ Gallun… - Journal of …, 2020 - journals.physiology.org
Recent evidence has shown that auditory information may be used to improve postural

Sensitivity to frequency modulation is limited centrally

KL Whiteford, AJ Oxenham - Journal of Neuroscience, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Modulations in both amplitude and frequency are prevalent in natural sounds and are critical
in defining their properties. Humans are exquisitely sensitive to frequency modulation (FM) …

Music, speech and affiliative communicative interaction: pitch and rhythm as interactive affordances

I Cross - 2022 - osf.io
This paper presents the idea that, across cultures, musical interaction is communicative and
intrinsically affiliative, overlap** significantly in function with the phatic speech register. I …
