Beats are slow periodic amplitude modulations resulting from the superposition of two spectrally close periodic signals. The difference frequency between the signals sets the frequency of the beat. A field study in the electric fish <i>Apteronotus rostratus</i> showed the behavioral relevance of very high difference frequencies. Contrary to expectations from previous studies, our electrophysiological data show strong responses of p-type electroreceptor afferents whenever the difference frequency ...[more]
