Dear all,

Saltation, first studied in tactile perception (Geldard & Sherrick 
1972), refers to systematic misperception of spatial stimulus distance 
depending on ISI. Visual and auditory (sound localization) analogs have 
been found by Sherick (1974) and Hari (1995). I learned about the 
phenomenon from a paper by Jan Wiemer et al (Learning cortical 
topography from spatiotemporal stimuli, Biol. Cybern 92, 173-187), who 
developed a neural dynamic field model.

I wonder whether similar effects can be/have been found in pitch 
perception. If anyone has references or thoughts to share about it - 
they`re very welcome.

Best regards,

     Julius Verrel
