Time-dependent discrimination advantages for harmonic sounds suggest efficient coding for memory

© 2020 National Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. Perceptual systems have finite memory resources and must store incoming signals in compressed formats. To explore whether representations of a sound's pitch might derive from this need for compression, we compared discrimination of harmo...
