Neuronal Mechanisms Underlying the Perception of Pitch and Harmony

Abstract: Temporal processing of periodic acoustic signals in the auditory brain stem provides an explanation for pitch perception and the natural preference of our hearing system for harmonic relationships in music. Experimental evidence is reviewed for a corresponding neuronal model of correlation analysis and the spatial representation of pitch information along the second neural axis of the auditory system.
