Pitch, harmonicity and concurrent sound segregation: psychoacoustical and neurophysiological findings.
Harmonic complex tones are a particularly important class of sounds found in both speech and music. Although these sounds contain multiple frequency components, they are usually perceived as a coherent whole, with a pitch corresponding to the fundamental frequency (F0). However, when two or more harmonic sounds occur concurrently, e.g., at a cocktail party or in a symphony, the auditory system ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Lifelong Musicianship on Neurophysiological Measures of Concurrent Sound Segregation
The ability to separate concurrent sounds based on periodicity cues is critical for parsing complex auditory scenes. This ability is enhanced in young adult musicians and reduced in older adults. Here, we investigated the impact of lifelong musicianship on concurrent sound segregation and perception using scalp-recorded ERPs. Older and younger musicians and nonmusicians were presented with peri...
متن کاملInfluence of musical and psychoacoustical training on pitch discrimination.
This study compared the influence of musical and psychoacoustical training on auditory pitch discrimination abilities. In a first experiment, pitch discrimination thresholds for pure and complex tones were measured in 30 classical musicians and 30 non-musicians, none of whom had prior psychoacoustical training. The non-musicians' mean thresholds were more than six times larger than those of the...
متن کاملNew harmonicity measures for pitch estimation and voice activity detection
Harmonic structure can be easily recognized in the timefrequency representation of speech signals even in the diverse environment. The harmonicity is a measure of the completeness of harmonic structure. This paper extends the use of conventional harmonicity measure to the tasks of pitch estimation and voice activity detection. A set of hierarchical harmonicities, including grid, temporal, spect...
متن کاملHierarchical neurocomputations underlying concurrent sound segregation: connecting periphery to percept.
Natural soundscapes often contain multiple sound sources at any given time. Numerous studies have reported that in human observers, the perception and identification of concurrent sounds is paralleled by specific changes in cortical event-related potentials (ERPs). Although these studies provide a window into the cerebral mechanisms governing sound segregation, little is known about the subcort...
