Delay-based vector codes for pitch lack plausible brainstem mechanisms

Evidence

From a physiological point of view, problems with this approach are that there is only limited evidence for such tuning in the brainstem and only over a limited range of periodicities; that no convincing delay mechanisms have been identified that cover a wide range of values (tens to tenths of ms); and that some of these schemes require elaborate (and biologically implausible) wiring. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4494

• QUESTION: Worth chasing whether the range problem (tens to tenths of ms) has since been solved by identified delay mechanisms in the brainstem.
