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).

Contains 39 sections demonstrating various characteristics of hearing. A text booklet is provided containing introductions and narrations of each topic and bibliographies for providing more detailed information. Issued in 1989. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (2) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ From http://www.psych.mcgill.ca/labs/auditory/bregmancd.html ] 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. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - (3) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [ from http://www.illusionworks.com/dianacd.htm ] Musical Illusions and Paradoxes Explore the world of auditory illusions on this unique CD by Professor Diana Deutsch, the "Escher of the world of music."
