Simulated spike trains encode pitch via envelope-fine-structure interaction periodicities

Evidence

The results of the simulation plotted in Fig. 2 evidence that, as in Santurette and Dau ( 2011 ), the predicted pitch values are always related to TE × TSFperiod and never related to TEperiod . This is strongly consistent with the results reported by the authors. The results of the simulation plotted in Fig. 3 are strongly consistent with Oxenham et al. ( 2011 ). Using a plausible refractory period of 2500 Hz, the simulation is able to extract the TE × TSFperiod even if the TSFperiod are too fast to be correctly encoded. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 4613
