The ability of a listener to detect a mistuned harmonic in an otherwise periodic tone is representative of the capacity to segregate auditory entities on the basis of steady-state signal cues. By use of a task in which listeners matched the pitch of a mistuned harmonic, this ability has been studied, in order to find dependences on mistuned harmonic number, fundamental frequency, signal level, and signal duration. The results considerably augment the data previously obtained from discrimination experiments and from experiments in which listeners counted apparent sources. Although previous work has emphasized the role of spectral resolution in the segregation process, the present work suggests that neural synchrony is an important consideration; our data show that listeners lose the ability to segregate mistuned harmonics at high frequencies where synchronous neural firing vanishes. The functional form of this loss is insensitive to the spacing of the harmonics. The matching experiment also permits the measurement of the pitches of mistuned harmonics. The data exhibit shifts of a form that argues against models of pitch shifts that are based entirely upon partial masking.
