Place and temporal codes each offer distinct neural mechanisms for extracting pitch

Evidence

The place code of pitch perception states that a pitch of a stimulus is determined from the locations stimulated by the frequencies contained in a sound on the basilar membrane. The temporal code of pitch perception states that the pitch of a stimulus is calculated from the pattern of neural firing. — Jennifer Lentz, Psychoacoustics- Perception of Normal…, 1343
