Acoustic Correlates of Auditory Object and Event Perception: Speakers, Musical Timbres, and Environmental Sounds

Neural Correlates of Auditory Object Perception

As you sit in front of this book, reading these words, pause for a moment, listen, and ask yourself: What do I hear? Perhaps you hear some conversations going on in the background, some devices making noises of various kinds (an almost omnipresent feature of the modern world). Or perhaps you are in an unusually quiet place, and there is effectively nothing to hear. Almost certain is that you wo...

Perceived Auditory Similarity and Its Acoustic Correlates in Twins and Unrelated Speakers

We conducted an AX-discrimination task to test for differences in perceived auditory similarity in monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs and unrelated speakers. In addition, we performed acoustic analyses to find acoustic correlates that explain the differences in perceived similarity. Results indicate that unrelated speakers are significantly easier to distinguish than twins, but zygo...
