Chinese and English Infants’ Tone Perception: Evidence for Perceptual Reorganization. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Over half the world’s population speaks a tone language, yet infant speech perception research has typically focused on consonants and vowels. Very young infants can discriminate a wide range of native and nonnative consonants and vowels, and then in a ...

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996
The considerable variability in speech perception performance among cochlear implant patients makes it difficult to compare the effectiveness of different speech processing strategies. One result is that optimal individualized processor parameter setting

Internal structure of intonational categories: The (dis)appearance of a perceptual magnet effect

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
The question of whether intonation events are speech categories like phonemes and lexical tones has long been a puzzle in prosodic research. In past work, researchers have studied categoricality of pitch accents and boundary tones by examining perceptual

Pitch discrimination interference between binaural and monaural or diotic pitches [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2009
Fundamental frequency (F0) discrimination between two sequentially presented complex (target) tones can be impaired in the presence of an additional complex tone (the interferer) even when filtered into a remote spectral region [Gockel, H., et al. (2004). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 1092–1104].

The oscillatory entrainment of virtual pitch perception

open access: yes, 2013
Evidence suggests that synchronized brain oscillations in the low gamma range (around 33 Hz) are involved in the perceptual integration of harmonic complex tones.

Music proficiency and quantification of absolute pitch: a large-scale study among Brazilian musicians

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Absolute pitch (AP) is the ability to identify and name the pitch of a sound without external reference. Often, accuracy and speed at naming isolated musical pitches are correlated with demographic, biological and acoustical parameters to gain insight ...

3D Printing Innovations in Polymeric Porous and Patterned Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polymeric foams occupy a unique structural space between dense solids and open networks, where engineered void fraction governs mechanical compliance, thermal resistance, and mass transport. Additive manufacturing now enables precise spatial control over cellular architecture, unlocking designer foam structures across applications spanning crash ...

Pitch Perception in the First Year of Life, a Comparison of Lexical Tones and Musical Pitch

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
Pitch variation is pervasive in speech, regardless of the language to which infants are exposed. Lexical tone is influenced by general sensitivity to pitch.

Dye‐Initiated Chirped Cholesteric Polymer Networks Exhibiting Broadband Dissipative Chiral Photonic Bands

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dye‐based photoinitiator acting as a structure‐directing element, guides the formation of a cholesteric polymer network that behaves as a chirped photonic structure with dissipative chiral coupling. Photopolymerization freezes a depth‐dependent helical pitch, broadening the Bragg resonance spectrum.

Computer-based musical interval training program for Cochlear implant users and listeners with no known hearing loss

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
A musical interval is the difference in pitch between two sounds. The way that musical intervals are used in melodies relative to the tonal center of a key can strongly affect the emotion conveyed by the melody.
