Abstract
This chapter is about the decline of the traditional phenomenological approach to pitch perception. Auditory experiments with ambiguous stimuli provide arguments in favour of a model in which pitch is seen as an emerging outcome from auditory information processing, rather than in terms of phenomenological attributes.
