Musical pitch variations caused by the Doppler effect

Musical pitch identification by absolute pitch possessors.

Musical pitch identification was investigated in two experiments in which absolute pitch (AP) possessors and nonpossessors categorized tones presented in isolation into predetermined pitch classes. Stimuli consisted of 60 different tones per octave (at intervals of 20 cents). The experiments were designed to minimize the possibility that subjects could use strategies other than AP in perfi~rmin...

Visualization of Musical Pitch

We have created software that shows a musician the pitch of the notes he or she is playing or singing, in real time and very accurately. This is useful as a teaching aid for beginners and also for studying refinements of sound production such as vibrato.

Variations on the musical brain.

If intelligent extraterrestrials ever intercept Voyager, the first message they decode will be Glenn Gould playing Bachl. Music, an ancient and peculiarly human pastime, is valued by all cultures. For highly visual primates, we are surprisingly susceptible to these abstract acoustic stimuli with no obvious survival value2. Neurologists have long been fascinated by musical curiosities they occas...
