Frequency dependence is seen in the patterns of firing of
various fibers of the auditory nerve.
In determining the pitch, the ear apparently performs both a
time and frequency analysis of the sound.
Two majar theories of pitch perception:
- place (or frequency) theory;
- periodicity (or time) theory.
