Thanks! Most work on the topic was done quite a while ago, but I'll look for some newer sources and try to tie in some current work using the theory.

Incorrect reference for original paper on the volley theory
In the first paragraph of the article, it says "The theory was proposed by Ernest Wever and Charles Bray in 1930...", and reference [1] is offered, which is points to a 1937 paper by Wever and Bray. The theory was propounded first, I believe, as stated in 1930, but the paper which should probably rather be referenced is Wever, E.G. and Bray, C.W. (1930) ‘The Nature of Acoustic Response: The Relation Between Sound Frequency and Frequency of Impulses in the Auditory Nerve’, Journal of Experimental Psychology, 13, pp. 373–387.
