Learning the Helix Topology of Musical Pitch [PDF]
ICASSP 2020 - 2020 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2020 To explain the consonance of octaves, music psychologists represent pitch as a helix where azimuth and axial coordinate correspond to pitch class and pitch height respectively. This article addresses the problem of discovering this helical structure from unlabeled audio data.

Audio-visual interactions uniquely contribute to resolution of visual conflict in people possessing absolute pitch. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Individuals possessing absolute pitch (AP) are able to identify a given musical tone or to reproduce it without reference to another tone. The present study sought to learn whether this exceptional auditory ability impacts visual perception under ...

Widespread but Limited in Context: Absolute Tuning Judgments are Disrupted by Relative Pitch Cues
Music & Science, 2023 Most listeners exhibit absolute pitch memory for familiar pitched sounds, ranging from simple tones (e.g., the “bleep” used to censor broadcast media) to rich, polyphonic melodies (e.g., excerpts from popular songs).

Decoding Imagined Musical Pitch From Human Scalp Electroencephalograms
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023 Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can restore impaired cognitive functions in people with neurological disorders such as stroke. Musical ability is a cognitive function that is correlated with non-musical cognitive functions, and restoring it can enhance ...
