A spectral network model of pitch perception

Pitch Perception with No Resolvable Spectral Cues

Cancellation model of pitch perception

A model of pitch perception is presented involving an array of delay lines and inhibitory gating neurons. In response to a periodic sound, a minimum appears in the pattern of outputs of the inhibitory neurons at a lag equal to the period of the sound. The position of this minimum is the cue to pitch. The model is similar to the autocorrelation model of pitch, multiplication being replaced by an...

A unitary model of pitch perception.

A model of the mechanism of residue pitch perception is revisited. It is evaluated in the context of some new empirical results, and it is proposed that the model is able to reconcile a number of differing approaches in the history of theories of pitch perception. The model consists of four sequential processing stages: peripheral frequency selectivity, within-channel half-wave rectification an...

Influence of spectral cues on the perception of pitch height

This study aims to provide direct perceptual evidence of whether listeners integrate spectral cues in pitch-range perception. A force-choice pitch classification experiment with four spectral conditions was conducted to investigate whether spectral cues manipulation can affect pitch-height perception. The results show that the pitch classification function is significantly shifted under differe...

The effect of spectral slope on pitch perception

This study aims to explore whether listeners integrate spectral cues in pitch-range perceptions. A forced-choice pitch classification experiment with four spectral conditions was conducted to investigate whether spectral cue manipulation can affect pitch-height perceptions. The participants in this experiment include tonal vs. non-tonal language speakers and musicians vs. non-musicians. The res...
