The paper tests cross-cultural consistency in pitch perception by comparing US and Tsimane participants, finding shared patterns despite cultural differences in pitch-related behavior.

This study evaluates how well deep neural networks align with human perception in categorizing natural sounds by testing model metamers across different architectures and training tasks.

This study investigates how timbre affects relative pitch judgments and finds that pitch accuracy is reduced when sounds differ in timbre, even when judgments are based on fundamental frequency.

This study shows that harmonic frequency relations improve hearing in noise for both musicians and non-musicians, aiding detection and discrimination of sounds.

The paper shows that harmonic sounds are better discriminated when separated in time, suggesting memory-based compression relies on fundamental frequency.
