Musical pitch perception with pulsatile stimulation of single electrodes in patients implanted with the Nucleus cochlear implant.
Subjects implanted with a Nucleus cochlear implant participated in closed-set melody recognition and musical pitch experiments in which pitch was mediated by systematic changes in pulse rate on single intracochlear electrodes. The results suggest that temporal information is sufficient for musical interval perception.
