Theory and experiment in so-called pulse-interval pitch.
Moore [1980] has criticised the conclusions of Whitfield [1979] who used an alternating pulsatile stimulus [Seebeck, 1843], and found that the predominating interpulse intervals produced in a single auditory nerve fibre did not correspond to the perceived pitch. Moore's criticism depends on an assumption he makes that is not in fact borne out by the experiments.
