Dissociating the neural codes for multiple pitch perception in humans

2025-11-22

Abstract excerpt

Pitch is crucial for speech and music perception, yet its neural code remains contested. The classic ‘rate-place’ theory suggests that pitch is computed from spatial patterns of average neural firing rates along the cochlear tonotopic axis. These cues are thought to be robust for isolated harmonic complex tones (HCTs) but degraded for spectrally dense mixtures of simultaneous HCTs (e.g., musical chords) due to aud...
