Within the cochlea, broadband sounds like speech and music are filtered into a series of
narrowband signals, each with a relatively slowly varying envelope (ENV) imposed on a …

The Sense of Hearing is a highly accessible introduction to auditory perception, addressing
the fundamental aspects of hearing. This fourth edition has been revised to include up-to …

Signal processing algorithms are the hidden components in the audio processor that
converts the received acoustic signal into electrical impulses while maintaining as much …

Perception is thought to be shaped by the environments for which organisms are optimized.
These influences are difficult to test in biological organisms but may be revealed by machine …

The cochlea maps tones with different frequencies to distinct anatomical locations. For
instance, a faint 5000-hertz tone produces brisk responses at a place approximately 8 …

It has been hypothesized that auditory detection of frequency modulation (FM) for low FM
rates depends on the use of both temporal (phase locking) and place cues, depending on …

Natural sounds convey information via frequency and amplitude modulations (FM and AM).
Humans are acutely sensitive to the slow rates of FM that are crucial for speech and music …

Neurons encode information in the timing of their spikes in addition to their firing rates. Spike
timing is particularly precise in the auditory nerve, where action potentials phase lock to …

It is well established that in normal-hearing humans, the threshold of interaural time
differences for pure tones increases dramatically above about 1300 Hz, only to become …

Objectives: The study objective was to characterize cochlear implant (CI) pitch perception for
pure, complex, and modulated tones for frequencies and fundamental frequencies in the …
