“Tone” and Pitch Perception [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1973
Research has demonstrated that while many aspects of language processing are lateralized to the left cerebral hemisphere in man, perception of pitch differences is not. We have conducted experiments in the dichotic listening paradigm to determine whether speakers of tone languages show a right ear advantage in processing contrasting “tones.” Three sets

Moth‐Wing‐Inspired Multifunctional Metamaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study develops a moth‐wing‐inspired heterogeneous metamaterial that achieves synergistic broadband sound absorption, mechanical energy dissipation, and thermal insulation within a lightweight architected framework. Combining bioinspired gradient design, genetic‐algorithm optimization, and additive manufacturing, the bionic heterogeneous acoustic ...

Top-Down Modulation on the Perception and Categorization of Identical Pitch Contours in Speech and Music

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2016
Whether pitch in language and music is governed by domain-specific or domain-general cognitive mechanisms is contentiously debated. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether mechanisms governing pitch contour perception operate differently ...

A Duplex Theory of Pitch Perception [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1951
In the theories of pitch perception now widely supported, pitch is regarded as a unitary attribute of auditory experience. There is good evidence, however, that there are actually two pitch-like attributes, and it is reasonable to suppose that the duplexity of pitch is a reflection of duplexity in the auditory process.

Model for pitch perception [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1974
The three important stages in pitch perception are (1) acoustic to mechanical transformation, (2) mechanical to neural changes, and (3) neural firings to perception. The developed model incorporates all three of these stages for explaining pitch perception.

Could Edible Photonic Structures Be an Alternative to Traditional Food Coloring?

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
What if color in food came from photonic structures? This perspective introduces structural color as a potential next‐generation solution to replace conventional colorants in foods. It discusses edible photonic materials, their unique benefits, and the technological, safety, and consumer acceptance challenges that must be addressed to bring this ...
