Virtual pitch and phase sensitivity of a computer model of the auditory periphery. I: Pitch identification
Abstract
Licklider [Experientia 7, 128–133 (1951)] presented a theory of pitch highlighting the role of auditory-nerve interspike-interval timing information in the process of pitch extraction. His theory is simplified and amended and presented here as a computer implementation. This implementation has been successfully tested using simulations of a wide range of classical demonstrations of pitch phenomena including the missing fundamental, ambiguous pitch, pitch shift of equally spaced, inharmonic components, musical chords, repetition pitch, the pitch of interrupted noise, the existence region, and the dominance region for pitch. The theory is compared with a number of alternative theories and the physiological plausibility of a temporal model is considered.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
