The frequency extent over which temporal fine structure is available in the human auditory system has recently become a topic of much discussion. It is common, in both the physiological and psychophysical literature, to encounter the assumption that fine structure is available to humans up to about 5 kHz or even higher. We argue from existing physiological, anatomical, and behavioral data in animals, combined with behavioral and anatomical data in humans, that it is unlikely that the human central nervous system has access to fine structure above a few kHz.
人类听觉系统中可利用的时间精细结构的频率范围最近成为了讨论的热点。在生理学和心理物理学文献中，常见的假设是精细结构可用于人类，频率上限约为 5 kHz，甚至更高。我们从现有的动物生理学、解剖学和行为学数据，以及人类的行为学和解剖学数据出发进行推断，认为人类中枢神经系统不可能获取高于几千赫兹的精细结构。
