Re: grouping mechanism

[Martin Braun <nombraun@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On "neural specialization for grouping spectral components according to
harmonicity" you find information and links at:

http://hem.netlink.se/~sbe29751/eng5.htm

Concerning characteristic periodicity response of neurons in the auditory
midbrain there has recently been an exciting breakthrough:

On "auditory scene analysis disorders" concerning the grouping of harmonics
(pitch extraction) the literature on congenital pitch-deafness may be
relevant:

auditory ability is hard-wired or developed in the prenatal or early
postnatal age. Any reports about auditory scene analysis disorders would be
helpful.
