Pitch perception for complex periodic signals

Sinusoids (at least those below 4-5 kHz where our perception of pitch is strong) do not constrain theories of pitch perception very much, as there is information both in place (tonotopic mapping) and time (phase locking) codes.

Focus here on complex periodic waveforms with rich harmonic spectra (for example, vowels). These always have a strong and clear pitch.
