The neural basis of pitch and harmony in the auditory system
Background in psychophysics Psychophysical experiments have shown that the human brain has a natural preference for harmonic sounds and relationships between musical tones. Even naïve listeners are able to distinguish harmonic from inharmonic musical intervals and, under many conditions, the pitches of octaves are confused even though their fundamental frequency differs by a factor of two. Our psychophysical investigations in Mongolian gerbils ha…
Temporal processing of pitch in the auditory system
In order to understand our ability to perceive music, we have to understand how our auditory neurons process acoustic signals. It is demonstrated here that temporal processing mechanisms in the auditory brainstem are essential for important aspects of musical perception, like the perception of pitch. Neurophysiological experiments revealed that the temporal feature important for pitch is the periodicity of signal envelopes. The corresponding evid…
