The human ear and auditory cortex preserve temporal fine structure and phase-locking capabilities at millisecond and sub-millisecond precision, as evidenced by human electrophysiology tracking rapid click trains.
The claim concerns the temporal resolution of the human ear for interclick intervals down to millisecond precision. Paper [2] shows human intracranial recordings demonstrating phase-locked frequency-following responses up to 200 Hz (a 5 ms period, and up to millisecond intervals). Paper [5] reviews sensory temporal processing, highlighting that short encoding timescales from milliseconds to tens of milliseconds support sensory perception. The remaining papers are either about spatial hearing, visual processing, clinical populations, or swimming expertise and do not contradict the physiological capability of the ear/auditory system to resolve millisecond-level intervals. Thus, the claim is well supported.
