Sorting Out Sound
نویسنده
چکیده
Speech analysis is a prototypical categorical mechanism that has been examined behaviorally in work going back to Haskins Laboratory studies in the 1950s: such work examined the perception of continua between phonemes and demonstrated sharp discontinuities consistent with categorical perception. In this issue of Neuron, Raizada and Poldrack examine analysis mechanisms for such processing by measurement of the fMRI BOLD response in the boundary region between different phonemes and argue for a specific amplification mechanism for this type of categorical perception.

In this paper, the “traditional” approaches of prototyping are recalled, and the new conditions, difficulties and challenges of involving and communicating with the relevant actors as a way of gathering sound requirements in the context of Webprojects are exa...
متن کاملPistachio nut varieties sorting by data mining and fuzzy logic classifier
ABSTRACT: In this paper, sorting of two Iranian varieties of pistachio, “Akbari” (Ak) and “Kaleghouchi” (Ka), by the decision tree and fuzzy logic classifier is investigated. 240 Ak and 120 Ka pistachio nuts impacted to a stainless steel plate through a chute, and the acoustic signal of these impacts picked up using a microphone and saved on a computer via a sound card. Further analysis has bee...

متن کاملAcoustical and Conceptual Information for the Perception of Animate and Inanimate Sound Sources
Is the sound of a train whistling more similar to the sound of the wheels of a train or to the sound of your whistle? This question addresses the comparative relevance of acoustical and conceptual information to the perceived similarity of sound events. The answer to this question has theoretical and methodological consequences for the field of sound source perception, and for the behaviorally ...
متن کاملWhich Sounds Change: Descent and Borrowing in the Skou Family1
The process of establishing genetic relationships in the endeavor of historical linguistics is complicated by the fact that some, if not most, languages show no inclination to “behave themselves” by re3ecting only material inherited from their protolanguage. Borrowing at many levels is rife in many languages, particularly when geographic separation is slight, and when social contact is frequent...
