Effect of phase relationship among the harmonics on rate-place and spatio-temporal representations of pitch for one AN fiber (CF = 2530 Hz). A–C: Pseudo spatio-temporal 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.
