The role of pitch and timbre in voice gender categorization

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2012
Voice gender perception can be thought of as a mixture of low-level perceptual feature extraction and higher-level cognitive processes. Although it seems apparent that voice gender perception would rely on low-level pitch analysis, many lines of research

Pitch perception beyond the traditional existence region of pitch [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011
Humans’ ability to recognize musical melodies is generally limited to pure-tone frequencies below 4 or 5 kHz. This limit coincides with the highest notes on modern musical instruments and is widely believed to reflect the upper limit of precise stimulus-driven spike timing in the auditory nerve. We tested the upper limits of pitch and melody perception

Sound frequency affects speech emotion perception: Results from congenital amusia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2015
Congenital amusics, or tone-deaf individuals, show difficulty in perceiving and producing small pitch differences. While amusia has marked effects on music perception, its impact on speech perception is less clear.

Perception of Words and Pitch Patterns in Song and Speech [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This fMRI study examines shared and distinct cortical areas involved in the auditory perception of song and speech at the level of their underlying constituents: words, pitch and rhythm.

How musical experience affects tone perception efficiency by musicians of tonal and non-tonal speakers?

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
PURPOSE:To investigate if, regardless of language background (tonal or non-tonal), musicians may show stronger CP than non-musicians; To examine if native speakers of English (English or non-tonal musicians henceforth) or Mandarin Chinese (Mandarin or ...

Representation of Pitch in Horizontal Space and Its Dependence on Musical and Instrumental Experience [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Representation of pitch in horizontal space and its relationship to musical and instrumental experience was examined in three behavioral experiments. Each experiment investigated the influence of a task-irrelevant dimension (pitch or location) on the ...

Metrics for pitch collections [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Models of the perceived distance between pairs of pitch collections are a core component of broader models of the perception of tonality as a whole. Numerous different distance measures have been proposed, including voice-leading, psychoacoustic, and ...

Evidence against an effect of grouping by spectral regularity on the perception of virtual pitch [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Two experiments investigated the role of the regularity of the frequency spacing of harmonics, as a separate factor from harmonicity, on the perception of the virtual pitch of a harmonic series.

Artifact‐Minimizing Ultrathin Transparent Electrodes Fabricated via iCVD for In Vivo Optogenetic Stimulation and Neural Signal Monitoring of Primary Visual Cortex

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present ultrathin flexible transparent electrodes through iCVD‐enabled molecular control of 10 nm gold films on poly(dimethylaminomethylstyrene). In vivo validation demonstrated photoelectric artifact reduction vs. opaque electrodes and preservation of natural neural dynamics.
