Mechanisms Mediating the Perception of Complex Acoustic Patterns
Abstract
The completed research program has dealt with the mechanisms and principle governing the perception of complex sounds. The main topics studied were: 1) Pitch averaging mechanisms for repetition pitch; 2) spectral and temporal mechanisms underlying some novel perceptual effects observed with complex tones mistuned from unison; 3) a comparison of tonal and infratonal auditory induction and their underlying mechanisms; 4) monaural ear advantages for infratonal periodicity detection and its implications for subcortical periodicity processing; and 5) evidence that perception of infratonal periodicity does not depend solely upon the recognition of the repetition of singularities, but also involves a holistic pattern recognition. Keywords: Auditory perception.
