f0 dls in a musical context

[Roy Patterson <rdp1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Andrew,

I do not know whether there is consensus on f0 dls for 
complex tones.
We did, however, use stimuli of the sort I think you are 
interested in two studies of pitch perception.
It is actually rather tricky to produce band limited stimuli 
that do not have edge tones.

The first focuses on f0 dls using a 2AFC task.
The second focuses on the answer you get with a musical task.
Between the two, I think you should find what you need.

Krumbholz, K., Patterson, R.D. and Pressnitzer, D. (2000). 
The lower limit of pitch as determined by rate 
discrimination. J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 108 1170-1180.

Pressnitzer, D., Patterson, R.D. and Krumbholz, K. (2001). 
The lower limit of melodic pitch. J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109 
2074-2084.

I can provide pdfs if you need them.

Regards Roy P
