Perceptual similarity between piano notes: Simulations with a template-based perception model

In this paper, the auditory model developed by Dau, Kollmeier, and Kohlrausch [(1997). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 102, 2892–2905] was used to simulate perceptual similarity between complex sounds. As sounds, a set of piano recordings used, whose has recently been measured Osses, Kohlrausch, Chaigne [(2019). 146, 1024–1035] using three-alternative forced-choice discrimination task in noise. To task, required new back-end stage, central processor, which is preceded several processing stages that are greater or lesser extent inspired physiological aspects normal-hearing system. Therefore, comprehensive review parameters as literature given, indicating fixed parameter values all simulations. Due relevance note onsets, includes an in-depth description adaptation loops. A moderate high correlation found simulation results existing experimental data.
