In this study, spectral timbre's effect on pitch perception is examined in varying contexts. In
two experiments, subjects detected pitch deviations of tones differing in brightness in an …

The limited spectral resolution of cochlear implant systems means that voice pitch
perception depends on weak temporal envelope cues. Enhancement of such cues was …

Four adult users of the Mini System 22 cochlear implant participated in an experiment to
investigate the perceptual independence of place-of-stimulation and temporal cues for …

Four-band and single-band noise-excited vocoders were used in acoustic simulations to
investigate spectral and temporal cues to melodic pitch in the output of a cochlear implant …

This chapter explores the perceptual and acoustic characterization of timbre, its role in the
identification of sound sources and events, the perception of sequential timbral relations …

A common form of synesthesia and nonsynesthetic cross-modal matching involves an
association of visual brightness and auditory frequency, and the form of this association was …

Previous studies showed that the perceptual processing of sound sequences is more
efficient when the sounds vary in pitch than when they vary in loudness. We show here that …

In previous studies of the 'tritone paradox'Deutsch has suggested that, when listeners are
presented with pairs of octave-complex tones that are equal in average log frequency but …

Changes in the frequency content of sounds over time are arguably the most basic form of
information about the behavior of sound-emitting objects. In perceptual studies, such …

Abstract Information in speech and music is often conveyed through changes in fundamental
frequency (f0), perceived by humans as “relative pitch”. Relative pitch judgments are …
