Effect of phase relationship among the harmonics on rate–place and spatiotemporal representations of pitch for one AN fiber (CF, 2530 Hz). A–C, Pseudo-spatiotemporal response patterns to complex-tone series with harmonics in cosine, alternating (sine–cosine), and Schroeder phase, respectively. The corresponding average rate and MASD profiles, normalized by their respective maxima, are plotted in D and E, respectively.
