Subject: F0 difference limens for unresolved harmonics From: Christian Kaernbach <auditory(at)KAERNBACH.DE> Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2005 09:05:17 +0200Dear David, In our 2001 paper we found DLs of 1.2 % for unresolved harmonics. I guess the major difference is the "wideband" nature of our stimuli: They were not band-pass filtered but high-pass filtered so that a by far larger part of the cochlea would see the stimulus.
