Dear Ramin Pichevar, dear Bert Huber, Thank you Ramin for sending to me the article by P. Loughlin and L. Cohen entitled 'The Uncertainty Principle: Global, Local, or Both', thank you Bert for the link to the 'Cochlear Paradox', respectively. Admittedly, the latter was more inspiring to me. Nonetheless, I wrote a harsh comment: http://iesk.et.uni-magdeburg.de/~blumsche/M275.html Please accept my apologies for wrongly claiming that the natural spectrogram does not obey the uncertainty principle. Things seem to be a little bit tricky. Be sure that my preference for FCT within IR+ is correct. Cochlea does not at all throw away phase. It would not benefit from Heaviside's trick.I see it just preparing joint autocorrelation. Regards, Eckard >Somewhat older papers also mention gammatone filterbanks, are these still >hot? Ask Roy Patterson. Because the natural spectrogram shows frequency chirping up, I am also interested.
