Abstract

The existence of the missing fundamental phenomenon is known, but its mechanism is unknown. We showed how the information of the missing fundamental f0 explicitly appeared on the aggregated autocorrelogram of the output pulse train for input signal f1 to one cochlear model and the output pulse train for input signal f2 to another cochlear model (where f1=nf0 and f2=(n+k)f0). In practice, we listen to a complex tone of f1 and f2 with each ear. In this paper, we try to investigate the influence of the pitch and the number of harmonic components of complex tones on perceiving the missing fundamental.
