Influence of tonal context and timbral variation on perception of pitch.

In this study, spectral timbres effect on pitch perception is examined in varying contexts. In two experiments, subjects detected pitch deviations of tones differing in brightness in an isolated context in which they compared two tones, in a tone-series ...

Music matters: preattentive musicality of the human brain.

During listening to a musical piece, unexpected harmonies may evoke brain responses that are reflected electrically as an early right anterior negativity (ERAN) and a late frontal negativity (N5). In the present study we demonstrate that these components ...

Judgments of noticeable differences in sound fields of concert halls caused by intensity variations in early reflections.

In concert halls early reflections combine with the direct sound and with reverberation to determine the subjective rating of a rooms acoustics. Of interest is how variations in the amplitudes of these early reflections are related to the subjectively ...

Processing pitch and duration in music reading: a RT-ERP study.

The originality of this study is to examine the processing of pitch and duration in music reading, using both electrophysiological and behavioral methods. Specifically, it was of interest to determine whether pitch and duration in music reading are ...
