Auditory stream segregation involves linking temporally separate acoustic events into one or
more coherent sequences. For any non-trivial sequence of sounds, many alternative …

Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder of music perception and production.
The hypothesis is that the musical deficits arise from altered pitch processing, with …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the processing of pitch combinations. It
examines the ways in which pitch combinations are abstracted by the perceptual system …

Before a natural sound can be recognized, an auditory signature of its source must be
learned through experience. Here we used random waveforms to probe the formation of …

Communication by sounds requires that the communication channels (ie speech/speakers
and other sound sources) had been established. This allows to separate concurrently active …

Many sound sources can only be recognised from the pattern of sounds they emit, and not
from the individual sound events that make up their emission sequences. Auditory scene …

In this ground-breaking synthesis of art and science, Diana Deutsch, one of the world's
leading experts on the psychology of music, shows how illusions of music and speech …

Auditory system functions, from peripheral sensitivity to central processing capacities, are all
at risk from a blast event. Accurate encoding of auditory patterns in time, frequency, and …

Researchers have shown increased interest in mechanisms of working memory for
nonverbal sounds such as music and environmental sounds. These studies often have used …

Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder that primarily manifests as a difficulty
in the perception and memory of pitch-based materials, including music. Recent findings …
