Title: Re: octave illusion and attention

Dear list,

Concerning the articles on the octave illusion referenced below, I should add the following:

Deutsch, D. The octave illusion revisited again. JEP:HPP 2004, 30, 355-364

which includes an extensive critique of the methodology used in the paper by Chambers et al, 2002, together with the report of a new experiment. Also,  concerning the article by Chambers in PBR, I have published in the same issue a lengthy Reply which documents a number of inaccuracies and misconceptions in this article.

I'd be happy to email reprints of both articles to any who are interested.

Regards,

Diana Deutsch
