The human ear possesses a specific temporal resolution limit
Extensive psychoacoustic literature consistently measures and evaluates specific limits of human auditory temporal resolution, such as gap detection and amplitude modulation thresholds.
The claim that the human ear possesses a specific temporal resolution limit is a foundational concept in psychoacoustics and auditory neuroscience. Multiple retrieved papers explicitly measure, test, and model auditory temporal resolution limits using metrics such as gap detection thresholds, temporal modulation, and temporal fine structure sensitivity.
