Comment on "Human Time-Frequency Acuity Beats the Fourier Uncertainty Principle"

Neurons and Cognition 2015-06-23 v1

Abstract

In the initial article [Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 044301 (2013), arXiv:1208.4611] it was claimed that human hearing can beat the Fourier uncertainty principle. In this Comment, we demonstrate that the experiment designed and implemented in the original article was ill-chosen to test Fourier uncertainty in human hearing.
