Pitch perception models

چکیده
This chapter discusses models of pitch, old and recent. The aim is to chart their common points – many are variations on a theme – and differences, and build a catalog of ideas for use in understanding pitch perception. The busy reader might read just the next section, a crash course in pitch theory that explains why some obvious ideas don’t work and what are currently the best answers. The brave reader will read on as we delve more deeply into the origin of concepts, and the intricate and ingenious ideas behind the models and metaphors that we use to make progress in understanding pitch.

Pitch perception: a dynamical-systems perspective.
Two and a half millennia ago Pythagoras initiated the scientific study of the pitch of sounds; yet our understanding of the mechanisms of pitch perception remains incomplete. Physical models of pitch perception try to explain from elementary principles why certain physical characteristics of the stimulus lead to particular pitch sensations. There are two broad categories of pitch-perception mod...

متن کاملTraining Improves Acoustic Pattern Perception
Pitch changes that occur in speech and melodies can be described in terms of contour patterns of rises and falls in pitch and the actual pitches at each point in time. This study investigates whether training can improve the perception of these different features. One group of ten adults trained on a pitch-contour discrimination task, a second group trained on an actual-pitch discrimination tas...
متن کاملPitch perception models - a historical review
This paper analyzes theories and models of pitch from a historical perspective. Pythagoras is credited with the first ”psychophysical” model, the monochord, that he used to formulate a law that links a physical quantity (ratio of string lengths) to a psychological quantity (musical interval). The relation between pitch itself and frequency emerged progressively with Aristoxenos, Boethius, Merse...
