Tonotopic Organization of the Auditory Cortex: Pitch Versus Frequency Representation
Abstract
According to the place principles of the classical hearing theory, the physical entity frequency is encoded in the auditory periphery as place information (tonotopic representation), which is decoded in more central parts of the auditory system to form the subjective entity pitch. However, this relation is true only for pure-tone signals (spectral pitch); it can be quite different in the case of complex auditory stimuli (virtual pitch), thus requiring a multistage process for pitch formation. Neuromagnetic measurements showed that the tonotopic organization of the primary auditory cortex reflects the pitch rather than the frequency of the stimulus; that is, the pitch formation process must take place in subcortical regions.

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.
