Human listeners must identify and orient themselves to auditory objects and events in their environment. What acoustic features support a listener’s ability to differentiate the great variety of natural sounds they might encounter?

Modern AI systems can now synthesize coherent multimedia experiences, generating video and audio directly from text prompts. These unified frameworks represent a rapid shift toward controllable and synchronized content creation. From early neural architectures to transformer and diffusion paradigms, this paper contextualizes the ongoing evolution of ...

The accuracy of absolute pitch has often fallen into mythical perspectives, as this rare ability tends to fascinate people through its spectacular results. Many people tend to think that a musician with absolute pitch is always capable of identifying the

Although the study by Bailes & Dean (2007) addresses an underresearched area of auditory and musical perception, it raises questions concerning stimuli, methodology, and the study's relation to previous research, that are outlined in this commentary.

Explaining the Musical Advantage in Speech Perception Through Beat Perception and Working Memory
Musical experience enhances speech‐in‐noise (SIN) perception, yet the mechanisms remain unclear. We tested 62 young adults using continuous measures of musical engagement, auditory and cognitive skills, and subcortical pitch encoding. Greater musical sophistication predicted better SIN performance, stronger working memory, finer beat perception, and ...

Exploring pianists’ embodied concepts of piano timbre: An interview study
Whether piano touch can influence piano timbre or not is a highly contested topic between acousticians and musicians. To gain insight into the ways in which pianists understand and use timbre, eight piano students were interviewed about their ...

ABSTRACT Human interpersonal coordination can yield synchronization at multiple timescales, including behavioral (auditory‐motor) and physiological (respiratory and cardiac) levels; yet the causal relationship among these levels is poorly understood.

Automatic Timbre Transformation Using Enhanced Diffusion Model
We present a novel timbre transfer model that uses an enhanced diffusion architecture to convert music from various instruments into Erhu timbre. The Erhu, a traditional Chinese instrument, is difficult to simulate due to its rich vibrato and smooth note

Modeling Timbre Similarity of Short Music Clips
There is evidence from a number of recent studies that most listeners are able to extract information related to song identity, emotion, or genre from music excerpts with durations in the range of tenths of seconds. Because of these very short durations,

Speech Recognition with Cochlea‐Inspired In‐Sensor Computing
Traditional speech recognition methods rely on software‐based feature extraction that introduces latency and high energy costs, making them unsuitable for low‐power devices. A proof‐of‐concept demonstration is provided of a bioinspired tonotopic sensor for speech recognition that mimics the human cochlea, using a spiral‐shaped elastic metamaterial. The
