Abstract :
Recently published data argue in favor of the hypothesis of a time-domain code in the representation of sound in the auditory nerve. This paper describes a pitch perception model based on such a code, and relates it´s behaviour to pitch theory. The model accounts for the pitch of complex tones, and correctly predicts pitch shifts and phase effects. It is physiologically realistic.
