Question

relates pitch to the alternating firing of groups of neurons along the basilar membrane
cannonade principle
lunge principle
volley principle
salvo principle
melee principle

Explanation:

The volley principle in auditory perception posits that groups of neurons along the basilar membrane fire alternately (in volleys) to encode pitch, especially for mid - range frequencies. This principle helps explain how the auditory system can handle frequencies beyond the firing rate limit of a single neuron.

Answer:

volley principle
