A third temporal periodicity depends jointly on envelope and fine structure

Evidence

As dT3 is necessary a multiple of dT1, for a shifted complex, dT3 will be either equal to n × dT1 or (n + 1) × dT1 choosing the integer n to verify the chain of inequations: n × dT1 ≤ dT2 < (n + 1) × dT1. As such, dT3 depends on both dT1 (fine structure information) and dT2 (envelope information) and can then be described as a periodicity related to an interaction between fine structure and envelope. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4613
