INVITED EDITORIAL Instant Recognition: The Genetics of Pitch Perception
For most of us, quick and accurate perception of the visual world is essential for getting around in life; we take for granted our instant recognition of color, shape, distance, and the physical relationships between objects. Many aspects of the auditory world are also apprehended in an effortless manner: a nighttime whistle is easily identified as a distant train, without any deliberation. How...
متن کاملPitch perception.
Pitch is one of the primary auditory sensations and plays a defining role in music, speech, and auditory scene analysis. Although the main physical correlate of pitch is acoustic periodicity, or repetition rate, there are many interactions that complicate the relationship between the physical stimulus and the perception of pitch. In particular, the effects of other acoustic parameters on pitch ...
متن کاملPitch perception beyond the traditional existence region of pitch.
Humans' ability to recognize musical melodies is generally limited to pure-tone frequencies below 4 or 5 kHz. This limit coincides with the highest notes on modern musical instruments and is widely believed to reflect the upper limit of precise stimulus-driven spike timing in the auditory nerve. We tested the upper limits of pitch and melody perception in humans using pure and harmonic complex ...
متن کاملInstant Action Recognition
In this paper, we present an efficient system for action recognition from very short sequences. For action recognition typically appearance and/or motion information of an action is analyzed using a large number of frames. This is a limitation if very fast actions (e.g., in sport analysis) have to be analyzed. To overcome this limitation, we propose a method that uses a single-frame representat...
متن کامل6 Pitch perception models
This chapter discusses models of pitch, old and recent. The aim is to chart their common points – many are variations on a theme – and differences, and build a catalog of ideas for use in understanding pitch perception. The busy reader might read just the next section, a crash course in pitch theory that explains why some obvious ideas don’t work and what are currently the best answers. The bra...
