Discrimination of Low-Frequency Tones Employs Temporal Fine Structure
An auditory neuron can preserve the temporal fine structure of a low-frequency tone by phase-locking its response to the stimulus. Apart from sound localization, however, much about the role of this temporal information for signal processing in the brain remains unknown. Through psychoacoustic studies we provide direct evidence that humans employ temporal fine structure to discriminate between ...
متن کاملTime Frequency Analysis of Dolphin Clicks Reveals Fine Temporal Structure
One of the most effective ways for a dolphin to perceive its environment for the purpose of prey detection is to use its active and passive (listening) sonar capabilities. Acoustic energy propagates in water more efficiently than any other form of energy, so that an active sonar capability is ideal for life in an aquatic environment. Dolphin sound emissions can be classified into two broad cate...
متن کاملEffects of steep high-frequency hearing loss on speech recognition using temporal fine structure in low-frequency region.
The present study examined the effects of steep high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SHF-SNHL) on speech recognition using acoustic temporal fine structure (TFS) in the low-frequency region where the absolute thresholds appeared to be normal. In total, 28 participants with SHF-SNHL were assigned to 3 groups according to the cut-off frequency (1, 2, and 4 kHz, respectively) of their pure-t...
متن کاملDetection and discrimination of gliding tones as a function of frequency transition and center frequency.
Two experiments were performed to investigate subjects' ability to detect and discriminate 50-ms up-glides in frequency in several different conditions. In the first experiment, the subjects indicated which of two signals increased more in pitch. The comparison, or standard signal, was a sinusoid which increased in frequency by either 0, 250, or 500 Hz. Center frequencies were 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and...
متن کاملBilateral ablation of auditory cortex in Mongolian gerbil affects discrimination of frequency modulated tones but not of pure tones.
This study examines the role of auditory cortex in the Mongolian gerbil in differential conditioning to pure tones and to linearly frequency-modulated (FM) tones by analyzing the effects of bilateral auditory cortex ablation. Learning behavior and performance were studied in a GO/NO-GO task aiming at avoidance of a mild foot shock by crossing a hurdle in a two-way shuttle box. Hurdle crossing a...
