So in this article - the word pitch is emphasized but what is really meant is harmonic frequency overtones. (see video)
Our results show that some pitch-related abilities – those relying on musical interval or voice perception – are strongly impaired by inharmonicity, suggesting a reliance on F0 estimation. However, tasks relying on the direction of pitch change, including those utilizing pitch contours in speech and music, were unaffected by inharmonicity. Such inharmonic sounds individually lack a well-defined pitch in the normal sense, but when played sequentially nonetheless elicit the sensation of pitch change.vid - music in the brain

So this appears to be a subtle difference - and it is - unless you really study the issue as I have done. Direction of Pitch Change means noncommutative phase!

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 128, 1943-1951.This is a HUGE corroboration of my claim. Western music is based on the assumption that intervals are the key as pitch - not as frequency.
Cousineau, M., McDermott, J.H., Peretz, I. (2012) The basis of musical consonance as revealed by congenital amusia. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 109, 19858-19863.So this paper then proves that it is the frequency harmonicity - or overtone harmonics - that determines consonance - NOT the interval pitch. So again this is what Helmholtz also argued - as I presented in my master's thesis.

Mlynarski, W., McDermott, J.H. (2019) Ecological origins of perceptual grouping principles in the auditory system. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, in press.What McDermott doesn't realize is that he has corroborated the noncommutative phase secret of time-frequency (over the logarithmic pitch claim of Western music).
