Temporal Theory
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Temporal theory holds that pitch is coded by the rate at which auditory neurons fire in step with the sound wave.
Show
A two-hundred-hertz tone produces neural firing patterns synchronized to the wave's cycles.
Watch for
Neurons cannot fire fast enough to track high frequencies. Each theory covers the range the other cannot.
