Dichotic harmonic presentation boosts resolvability beyond what temporal interaction models predict

Evidence

Second, this simulation does not explain all the data reported in the literature about pitch perception. For example, experiment 2c in Oxenham et al. ( 2011 ) reports some pitch perception using dichotic stimulations with even-numbered harmonics presented on the right ear and odd-numbered harmonics presented to the left ear. This experimental manipulation increases the resolvability of the signals and prevents our simulation to extract any temporal periodicities and then to predict some pitch perception. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4656

• QUESTION: The Oxenham dichotic experiment is a genuine challenge to pure temporal models of pitch — warrants deeper reading to understand what mechanism explains it.
