Frequency-specific temporal envelope and periodicity components for lexical tone identification in Cantonese.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:A sum of simultaneous pure tones with harmonic relationships (i.e., simple frequency ratios) is normally heard as a single sound, with a single pitch, even when its components are fully resolved in the auditory periphery. This perceptual phenomenon called "harmonic fusion" is thought to play an important rol...
