Perceptual fusion of musical notes by native Amazonians suggests universal representations of musical intervals
MJ McPherson, SE Dolan, A Durango… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Music perception is plausibly constrained by universal perceptual mechanisms adapted to
natural sounds. Such constraints could arise from our dependence on harmonic frequency …
