Audibility of Initial Pitch Glides in String Instrument Sounds
Listening experiments were made to measure the detection thresholds for initial pitch glides in string instrument sounds, where a rapid decline of pitch is caused by tension modulation during the attack. Realistic sounding synthetic tones were generated by additive synthesis. The frequency decay of the glide was defined through the overall decay rate of amplitude, simulating the behavior of rea...
متن کاملLeft ear advantage in pitch perception of complex tones without energy at the fundamental frequency.
Normal right-handed subjects were required to make pitch comparisons of complex tones in which the fundamental frequency was either present or absent. In both conditions, tones were presented monaurally. An increase in left-ear superiority was observed in the response time measurements when the fundamental was absent. These findings support the notion that the right hemisphere possesses a speci...
متن کاملWaveform Patterns in Pitch Glides Near a Vocal Tract Resonance
A time-domain model of vowel production is used to simulate fundamental frequency glides over the first vocal tract resonance. A vocal tract geometry extracted from MRI data of a female speaker pronouncing [i] is used. The model contains direct feedback from the acoustic loads to vocal fold tissues and the inertial effect of the full air column on the glottal flow. The simulations reveal that a...
متن کاملUnsupervised Learning of Tone and Pitch Accent
Recognition of tone and intonation is essential for speech recognition and language understanding. However, most approaches to this recognition task have relied upon extensive collections of manually tagged data obtained at substantial time and financial cost. In this paper, we explore unsupervised clustering approaches to recognize pitch accent in English and tones in Mandarin Chinese. In unsu...
متن کاملLexical tone and pitch perception in tone and non-tone language speakers
Past research on categorical perception of lexical tone has produced contradictory results. In Experiment 1 tonal (Mandarin, Vietnamese) and non-tonal (Australian) adults were tested for identification and discrimination on speech and non-speech (sine-wave) tone continua. Tonal language speakers’ category boundaries and discrimination peaks were near the middle of the asymmetric continuum, wher...
