Document Summary
Music and speech perception: explain the temporal code of sound frequency. Attack and decay of sound: attack: part of a sound during which amplitude increases (onset, decay: part of a sound during which amplitude decreases (offset) What happens in natural situations: acoustic environment can be a busy place, multiple sound sources. How does auditory system sort out these sources: source segregation, or auditory scene analysis. Gestalt law similarity : german for form , in perception, a term introduced by a school of thought stressing that the perceptual while could be greater than the sum of its parts. Grouping by timbre: tones that have increasing and decreasing frequencies, or tones that deviate from rising/falling pattern pop out of sequence. Spectrogram: a pattern for sound analysis that provides a 3d display of intensity as a function of time and frequency: e. g. , bouncing vs. breaking bottle.
