The hearing sensation roughness and neuronal responses to AM-tones.
The hearing sensation roughness as a function of modulation frequency shows a bandpass characteristic similar to that of modulation transfer functions (MTFs) obtained from neurons. However, while the MTFs may change their characteristics from bandpass to low-pass at low levels or with masking noise, roughness shows a bandpass characteristic irrespective of level or masking noise.
