Re: F0 difference limens for unresolved harmonics



Dear David,

In our 2002 paper (involving the same stimuli than in Shackleton and
Carlyon 1994) we found DLs for unresolved harmonics of about 5% before
training and about 2% after training. 
This paper support the hypothesis that two different underlying mechanisms
mediate the encoding of the F0 of resolved und unresolved harmonics.

Cheers,

Nicolas
