On the relativity of pitch

Journal/Book: Perception. 1982; 11: 721-31.

Abstract: The way we interpret a given set of sensory stimuli can depend very strongly on our choice of cues. The resulting ambiguity is particularly familiar in visual perception, and underlies many well-known visual illusions. It is shown that comparable ambiguities exist in the field of hearing, particularly pitch perception.
