Deutsch tritone paradox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Deutsch tritone paradox is an auditory illusion created by Diana Deutsch (creator of a number of auditory illusions) to test the Shepard scale if proximity information was removed. Diana Deutsch found that perception of which tone was higher was dependent on the absolute frequencies involved: one will consistently find the same tone as higher or lower, and this is determined by the tones' absolute pitch. This is consistently done by a large portion of the population, despite the fact that responding differently to different tones must involve the ability to hear absolute pitch, which was thought to be extremely rare. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Deutsch_tritone_paradox   (175 words)

DIANA ATHILL Diana Athill was known as "the best editor in London" for nearly 50 years; she worked with, among others, V S Naipaul, Jean Rhys and Brian Moore. Diana Athill was 75 when she retired as editor and director of publishing firm André Deutsch in 1993. Here in Diana’s pages André’s flair, acumen, and energy in the early years are revealed and, of course, the final act of financial atonement after years of undervaluation when he bought her an annuity after a disaster with her company pension that was neither her fault nor his. www.arlindo-correia.com /121002.html   (6290 words)

Tritone Paradox and Spectral-Motion AfterEffects Diana Deutsch and her colleagues have conducted many studies of how people perceive the 12 tritone pairs. Deutsch and her colleagues have found an amazing consistency across individuals within geographical areas in the orientation of the pitch class circle. Dr Deutsch and her colleagues have found a positive correlation between the peak pitch class and the upper limit of the main octave of their speech. www.cameron.edu /~lloydd/webdoc1.html   (1517 words)

Stet - Diana Athill She worked for André Deutsch (after having a brief fling with him), first for his Allan Wingate-house (the name chosen because "Deutsch" was presumed to be too inflammatory so close after World War II), and then for the eponymous André Deutsch Limited. Deutsch apparently had quite the personality, but he certainly put it to good use and the Deutsch-list was, for a while, a most impressive one. Diana Athill was born in 1917 and is an editor and author. www.complete-review.com /reviews/publish/athilld.htm   (1124 words)

Octave illusion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Discovered by Diana Deutsch in 1973, the octave illusion is an auditory illusion produced by simultaneously playing two sequences of two notes that are spaced an octave apart, high to low, and low to high, in separate stereo channels over headphones. People who are right-handed tend to hear the higher pitch as being in their right ear while the results are mixed for left-handed people. Deutsch, D.

C:\Program Files\Recognita Plus 5.0\deutch.htm The combined output of these two mechanisms, for the case of the listener whose pitch percept corresponds to the frequencies presented to the right ear, should result in the percept of a high tone to the right alternating with a low tone to the left. For the case of the listener whose pitch percept corresponds to the frequencies presented to the left ear instead, the resultant percept should be that of a high tone to the left alternating with a low tone to the right. In a study by D. Deutsch (1983b), subjects with left or mixed-handed parents or siblings were found less likely to localize the high tone on the right and the low tone on the left than were subjects without left- or mixed-handed parents or siblings. www.zainea.com /deutch.htm   (10982 words)

Tone language translates to perfect pitch The study follows up on one Deutsch led in 1999, which found that native speakers of Vietnamese and Mandarin exhibited a "remarkably precise and stable form of absolute pitch in enunciating words," leading Deutsch to hypothesize then that pitch was an extra-musical ability. Deutsch's coauthors on the present study are: Trevor Henthorn, also of UCSD; Elizabeth Marvin, professor of music theory, Eastman School of Music; and HongShuai Xu, graduate student, College of Music, Capital Normal University in Beijing. Deutsch has discovered a number of musical illusions and paradoxes, including the tritone paradox, which established that different cultural groups often perceive identical notes of music differently. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2004-11/uoc--tlt110804.php   (920 words)

music Diana Deutsch of the University of California, San Diego, set out to investigate a musical paradox she had discovered four years ago. Deutsch concluded that most people mentally arrange musical pitches on a circular map, or “pitch-class circle,” placing all the notes in positions comparable to the numbers on a clock. Deutsch did not measure the fundamental frequencies of the English/California volunteers, but she speculates that further studies may reveal voice-pitch differences between the two groups. faculty.ed.umuc.edu /~jmatthew/articles/music.html   (792 words)

New CD by UCSD psychologist explores phantom words, memory for musical tones, & other sound According to Deutsch, who has played her sound demonstrations to hundreds of her students, the extraneous words people hear are quite subjective, often reflecting the listener's current state of mind. Deutsch, who has discovered a number of striking musical illusions and paradoxes over the last few decades, plans to undertake an in-depth MRI study to gain further insight into these most recent discoveries. A world renowned authority on musical perception, Deutsch is the editor of "The Psychology of Music," (Academic Press,1982, 2nd edition 1999) and served as the founding editor of the journal Music Perception and is the founding president of the Society for Music Perception and Cognition. www.eurekalert.org /pub_releases/2003-07/uoc--ncb071403.php   (857 words)

A paradox of musical pitch University of California, San Diego, psychologist Diana Deutsch, PhD, and her colleagues have created an auditory illusion called the tritone paradox, and have found that a person's linguistic history has a lot to do with how the illusion is heard. Deutsch hypothesized that, even though most had no musical training, the listeners were tagging one region of the pitch class circle as higher in tone and the opposite region as lower. Deutsch plotted the percentage of times each participant heard a pattern as descending as a function of the pitch class of the first tone of the pair. www.apa.org /monitor/julaug01/musicpitch.html   (1443 words)

DIANA ATHILL Athill's facility with memoir didn't become apparent until well into her career as an editor and partner at Andre Deutsch, when she tried, as a cathartic exercise, to transcribe the details of her childhood and young adulthood as the daughter of a well-to do army officer and his wife. Instead of a Letter details the awful manner in which she was jilted by her fiance (after a two-year silence he sent her a formal note ask ing her to release him from their engagement; he wanted to marry someone else) in such clear and unhysterical terms that it remains startling. Of all the authors she edited at Andre Deutsch, among them V S Naipaul and Norman Mailer, the one whose approach Athill sought to apply to her own writing was that of Jean Rhys. www.arlindo-correia.com /diana_athill.html   (7133 words)

CD review: Auditory brainteasers Psychologist Diana Deutsch, based at the University of California at San Diego, explores differences in musical interpretation and perception in a fascinating compact disc, Musical Illusions and Paradoxes. On her new disc, Deutsch guides the listener through a series of musical illusions and experiments illustrating her conclusion that wide perceptual discrepancies occur in the brain's interpretation of even the simplest musical patterns. Deutsch devotes a large part of the disc to a tritone paradox illustrating how the brain can misinterpret movement of pitch up and down the scale. svconline.com /mag/avinstall_cd_review_auditory   (750 words)

UCSD Guardian Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) UCSD psychology professor Diana Deutsch discovered a link between speaking a tone language and having absolute, or perfect pitch — the ability to identify or produce the pitch of a tone without the convenience of a reference note. Deutsch’s study concluded that there is a strong possibility that speaking a tone language lengthens the “critical period,” or window of opportunity, for one to acquire language — or in this case, perfect pitch — in early infancy and likens learning to play an instrument to learning the tones of a second language. Deutsch concluded that this ability resulted from their early acquisition of tone language. www.ucsdguardian.org /cgi-bin/news?art=2004_11_22_07   (777 words)

Fw: Perfect Pitch Deutsch has a face as round and sprightly as a sixteenth = note, a=20 red bob of hair, and a doctorate in psychology. But studies by Deutsch and = others=20 have shown that perfect pitch is far more common than it seems. When Deutsch recently asked English speakers = to read the same list of words on different=20 days, she found that their pitch for any given word could vary by as = much as two notes. www.ptg.org /pipermail/caut/2002-January/005156.html   (1275 words)

Deutsch's Tritone Experiments   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) Diana Deutsch refers to this ambiguity as the Tritone Paradox. In one experiment, Deutsch played a sequence of pairs of tritones for different listeners, asking them to note whether each was up or down. Specifically, the listener was instructed to note whether the second of the two tones in a given pair was higher or lower than the first. epsych.msstate.edu /descriptive/Hearing/tritone/tritone_desc9.html   (298 words)

EXN.ca | Discovery Diana Deutsch, a pioneer in the field of musical illusions and our perception of them, has been studying why we don't all necessarily hear the same piece of music in the same way. Deutsch, a professor of psychology at the University of California in San Diego, presented her most recent findings to the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Seattle this past week. As a result of her own research and that which has spawned similar studies, Deutsch suggests the relationship of music to speech is being gradually pieced together. www.exn.ca /Stories/1997/02/21/02.asp   (908 words)
