Envelope-peak-based pitch coding relaxes the phase-locking constraint on auditory processing

Evidence

Moreover, as the temporal delay between peaks of interest is rather longer than the delay between two adjacent peaks of the fine structure, such a mechanism would be much less constrained by the phase locking limitation of the auditory system. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4611
