Re: Auditory demonstrations

[Dan Ellis <dpwe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are three 'auditory demonstration' CDs that I know of:

(1) The ASA/IPO collection of psychoacoustic demonstrations.

(2) Al Bregman's examples of auditory organization phenomena.

(3) Diana Deutch's musical perceptual phenomena examples.

Details of each of these (including web links) are below - shortly, I
will also put this information, and any other suggestions, in a page
off the AUDITORY homepage (http://sound.media.mit.edu/AUDITORY).

Demonstrations of Auditory Scene Analysis: The Perceptual Organization
of Sound.

Albert S. Bregman & Pierre A. Ahad,
Department of Psychology, McGill University.

This is a single CD, 62 minutes in duration, packaged in a double-CD
case together with a 78-page booklet of explanations. While it is
based on the principles set forth in the book, Auditory scene
analysis: The perceptual organization of sound, by A. S. Bregman, the
accompanying booklet allows the demonstrations to be understood
without reference to the 1990/1994 book. It consists of a set of 41
demonstrations. A lot is now known about the features of the changing
spectrum that allow the human brain to solve the ASA problem. The
heuristics that it uses are illustrated by these auditory
demonstrations.
