Frequency difference limens index temporal fine structure processing at low and medium frequencies.
Evidence
For the low-frequency stimulus, the listeners were required to detect a common upward frequency shift (Δf Hz) imposed on the individual components of the SSMC with the spectral envelope remaining unchanged (Moore and Sek 2009 ). It was assumed that the listeners based their judgments on pitch changes, reflecting the temporal fine structure encoded as the pattern of neural phase locking. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 1043 (
