Absolute pitch: Music and beyond
Epilepsy & Behavior, 2005"Perfect pitch," known in the scientific literature as "absolute pitch" (AP), is a rare phenomenon that has fascinated musicians and scientists alike for over a century. There has been a great deal of conflict in the literature between advocates of the two main theories on the etiology of AP: some believe that AP is learned early in life through ...

A Human Absolute Pitch Model for Identifying Musical Pitch
Biomedical Engineering, 2016Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify or produce a pitch of a sound without a reference sound. In this study, we propose a novel method to identify musical pitch using an absolute pitch model, which models chroma perception of AP possessors. The proposed method is based on the use of an auditory image model (AIM) and neural network (NN).

CORRELATIONS OF PITCHES IN MUSIC
Fractals, 1996We investigate correlations among pitches in several songs and pieces of piano music. Real values of tones are mapped to positions within a one-dimensional walk. The structure of music, such as beat, measure and stanza, are reflected in the change of scaling exponents of the mean square fluctuation.

In music, melodies can be recognized regardless of the instrument on which they are played. This is true even when the musical sounds have no energy at the fundamental frequency. This phenomenon was studied through identification of melodies, each note of which was played by a complex of two simple tones with adjacent harmonic frequencies and randomly ...

Processing of pitch and time sequences in music
Neuroscience Letters, 2008Pitch and duration -- either as written symbols or in auditory form -- are the basic structural properties in tones that form a melodic sequence. From the cognitive perspective, it is still a matter of debate whether, and at which processing stage, these two factors are processed independently or interdependently. The present study addresses this issue

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1997
Although most of Dix Ward’s publications were concerned with the effects of noise on hearing, his first love was music perception. The publication derived from his doctoral dissertation, ‘‘Subjective musical pitch’’ [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 26, 369–380 (1954)], is one of the seminal works in the area, as is his treatise on absolute pitch [Sound 2(3), 14–21

Abstract The perception of a sound’s timbre and pitch may be related to the more basic auditory function of sound recognition. Timbre may be related to the sensory experience (or memory) by which we recognize the source or meaning of a sound, while pitch may involve the recognition and mapping of timbres along a cognitive spatial ...

The speed of pitch resolution in a musical context
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2001In five experiments, we investigated the speed of pitch resolution in a musical context. In experiments 1–3, listeners were presented an incomplete scale (doh, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti) and then a probe tone. Listeners were instructed to make a rapid key-press response to probe tones that were relatively proximal in pitch to the last note of the scale ...

As we saw, a musical sound has a given fundamental frequency, and mixed with it higher frequencies coming from the Fourier components of the decomposition of the actual waveshape. In other words, the musical sound is a periodic vibration, and this period determines its fundamental frequency.

Pitch independent prototyping of musical sounds
1999 IEEE Third Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (Cat. No.99TH8451), 1999This paper presents a method of pitch-independent prototyping, classification and creation of musical sounds. Based on the spectral envelope, temporal envelope and irregularities of the quasi-harmonic partials, a simple timbre model is used for the prototyping, classification and synthesis of musical sounds.
