Music perception, pitch, and the auditory system.

چکیده
The perception of music depends on many culture-specific factors, but is also constrained by properties of the auditory system. This has been best characterized for those aspects of music that involve pitch. Pitch sequences are heard in terms of relative as well as absolute pitch. Pitch combinations give rise to emergent properties not present in the component notes. In this review we discuss the basic auditory mechanisms contributing to these and other perceptual effects in music.

IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY 5 - 1 New Developments in In - Ear Monitor ( IEM )
Exposure to high-level sounds, including music, produces a variety of physiological changes in the auditory system that in turn produce a variety of perceptual effects. Damage to the outer hair cells within the cochlea leads to a loss of sensitivity to weak sounds, loudness recruitment (a more rapid than normal growth of loudness with increasing sound level and a consequent reduced dynamic rang...
متن کاملThe Role of the Auditory Brainstem in Processing Musically Relevant Pitch
Neuroimaging work has shed light on the cerebral architecture involved in processing the melodic and harmonic aspects of music. Here, recent evidence is reviewed illustrating that subcortical auditory structures contribute to the early formation and processing of musically relevant pitch. Electrophysiological recordings from the human brainstem and population responses from the auditory nerve r...
متن کاملAuditory-Model Based Methods for Multiple Fundamental Frequency Estimation
This chapter describes fundamental frequency (F0) estimation methods that make use of computational models of the human auditory perception and especially pitch perception. At the present time, the most reliable music transcription system available is the ears and the brain of a trained musician. Compared with any artificial audio processing tool, the analytical ability of human hearing is very...
متن کاملPerceptual Considerations in Designing and Fitting Hearing Aids
The opportunities for masking in music abound, and compared with speech, the range of pitch and intensity levels can vary dramatically. Musical tones include important energy components infringing on both the lower and upper pitch limit. For example, the fundamental frequency of low piano tones fall below 20 Hz, and the upper partials of violin tones rise above 20,000 Hz. In addition, the diffe...
متن کاملLearning Pitch with STDP: A Computational Model of Place and Temporal Pitch Perception Using Spiking Neural Networks
Pitch perception is important for understanding speech prosody, music perception, recognizing tones in tonal languages, and perceiving speech in noisy environments. The two principal pitch perception theories consider the place of maximum neural excitation along the auditory nerve and the temporal pattern of the auditory neurons' action potentials (spikes) as pitch cues. This paper describes a ...
