Effects of Peripheral Tuning on the Auditory Nerve’s Representation of Speech Envelope and Temporal Fine Structure Cues

A number of studies have explored how speech envelope and temporal fine structure (TFS) cues contribute to speech perception. Some recent investigations have attempted to process speech signals to remove envelope cues and leave only TFS cues, but the results are confounded by the fact that envelope cues may be partially reconstructed when TFS signals pass through the narrowband filters of the cochlea. To minimize this reconstruction, …
