The statistical structure of human speech sounds predicts musical universals.
The similarity of musical scales and consonance judgments across human populations has no generally accepted explanation. Here we present evidence that these aspects of auditory perception arise from the statistical structure of naturally occurring periodic sound stimuli. An analysis of speech sounds, the principal source of periodic sound stimuli in the human acoustical environment, shows that...

متن کاملEvaluating rhythmic descriptors for musical genre classification
Organising or browsing music collections in a musically meaningful way calls for tagging the data in terms of e.g. rhythmic, melodic or harmonic aspects, among others. In some cases, such metadata can be extracted automatically from musical files; in others, a trained listener must extract it by hand. In this article, we consider a specific set of rhythmic descriptors for which we provide proce...
متن کاملThe Enhanced Musical Rhythmic Perception in Second Language Learners
Previous research suggests that mastering languages with distinct rather than similar rhythmic properties enhances musical rhythmic perception. This study investigates whether learning a second language (L2) contributes to enhanced musical rhythmic perception in general, regardless of first and second languages rhythmic properties. Additionally, we investigated whether this perceptual enhanceme...
متن کاملThe quest for the universals of protein evolution.
The sequences of proteins change at dramatically different rates. Unraveling the association between this variability and cellular and ecological processes will enable a better understanding of protein function and evolution. Although weak associations of protein evolutionary rates with a plethora of variables have been reported, none withstands comparison with the effect of expression levels. ...
