Nonlinear Dynamics of the Perceived Pitch of Complex Sounds [PDF]
, 1999 We apply results from nonlinear dynamics to an old problem in acoustical physics: the mechanism of the perception of the pitch of sounds, especially the sounds known as complex tones that are important for music and speech ...

Tonal expectations influence pitch perception [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 2008 In this study, we investigated the influence of tonal relatedness on pitch perception in melodies. Tonal expectations for target tones were manipulated in melodic contexts while controlling sensory expectations, thus allowing us to assess specifically the influence oftonal expectations on pitch perception.

Pupillary response to dynamic pitch alteration during speech perception in noise [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 Dynamic pitch, also known as intonation, conveys both semantic and pragmatic meaning in speech communication. While alteration of this cue is detrimental to speech intelligibility in noise, the mechanism involved is poorly understood.

The gray matter volume of the amygdala is correlated with the perception of melodic intervals: a voxel-based morphometry study [PDF]
, 2014 Music is not simply a series of organized pitches, rhythms, and timbres, it is capable of evoking emotions. In the present study, voxel-based morphometry (VBM) was employed to explore the neural basis that may link music to emotion.

Pitch-induced illusory percepts of time
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2022 Abstract Past research suggests that pitch height can influence the perceived tempo of speech and music, such that higher-pitched signals seem faster than lower-pitched ones. However, previous studies have analyzed perceived tempo across a relatively limited range of fundamental frequencies.

Native Experience with a Tone Language Enhances Pitch Discrimination and the Timing of Neural Responses to Pitch Change [PDF]
, 2011 Native tone language experience has been linked with alterations in the production and perception of pitch in language, as well as with the brain response to linguistic and non-linguistic tones.

Place pitch discrimination and speech recognition in cochlear implants users
South 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

Repetition enhances the musicality of speech and tone stimuli to similar degrees [PDF]
, 2018 Certain spoken phrases, when removed from context and repeated, begin to sound as if they were sung. Prior work has uncover ed several acoustic factors which determine wh ether a phrase sounds sung after repetition .

PLoS ONE, 2017 We investigated categorical perception of rising and falling pitch contours by tonal and non-tonal listeners. Specifically, we determined minimum durations needed to perceive both contours and compared to those of production, how stimuli duration affects
