Pitch Perception Models

Alain de Cheveigné
- pp 169-233
TLDR
This chapter discusses models of pitch, old and recent, to chart their common points – many are variations on a theme – and differences, and build a catalog of ideas for use in understanding pitch perception.
Abstract
This chapter discusses models of pitch, old and recent. The aim is to chart their common points – many are variations on a theme – and differences, and build a catalog of ideas for use in understanding pitch perception. The busy reader might read just the next section, a crash course in pitch theory that explains why some obvious ideas don’t work and what are currently the best answers. The brave reader will read on as we delve more deeply into the origin of concepts, and the intricate and ingenious ideas behind the models and metaphors that we use to make progress in understanding pitch.

Melody Extraction From Polyphonic Music Signals Using Pitch Contour Characteristics

TL;DR: A comparative evaluation of the proposed approach shows that it outperforms current state-of-the-art melody extraction systems in terms of overall accuracy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sound Texture Perception via Statistics of the Auditory Periphery: Evidence from Sound Synthesis

TL;DR: The results suggest that sound texture perception is mediated by relatively simple statistics of early auditory representations, presumably computed by downstream neural populations, and the synthesis methodology offers a powerful tool for their further investigation.
Dissertation

Tonal description of music audio signals

TL;DR: This doctoral dissertation proposes and evaluates a computational approach for the automatic description of tonal aspects of music from the analysis of polyphonic audio signals that contributes to bridge the gap between audio and symbolic-oriented methods without the need of a perfect transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Melody Transcription From Music Audio: Approaches and Evaluation

TL;DR: The results of full-scale evaluations of melody transcription systems conducted in 2004 and 2005 are described, including an overview of the systems submitted, details of how the evaluations were conducted, and a discussion of the results.

Neural Networks: A Comprehensive Foundation

Simon Haykin
TL;DR: Thorough, well-organized, and completely up to date, this book examines all the important aspects of this emerging technology, including the learning process, back-propagation learning, radial-basis function networks, self-organizing systems, modular networks, temporal processing and neurodynamics, and VLSI implementation of neural networks.

Speed of processing in the human visual system.

TL;DR: The visual processing needed to perform this highly demanding task can be achieved in under 150 ms, and ERP analysis revealed a frontal negativity specific to no-go trials that develops roughly 150 ms after stimulus onset.

An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing

TL;DR: In this paper, the nature of sound and the structure and function of the auditory system are discussed, including absolute thresholds, frequency selectivity, masking and the critical band, and the perception of loudness.
