How do we “hear”?

Auditory system: Amazing facts 10 octave range (20 – 20,000 Hz) Ear senses changes 1 part of10,000,000,000 of atmospheric pressure

Auditory Cortex Reference: URL: Saenz Auditory Neuorscience Group:

How do we know? Answer: fMRI Image source (top): Univ. of Indiana Image source (bottom): Ginormous magnetic coil 1.Hemoglobin carries oxygen 2. Hemoglobin is magnetic (Iron atom!) 3. Brain uses oxygen where active 4. Therefore, magnetic signal tells you where your brain is active

Place Theory Perception of sound depends on which region (place) of basilar membrane vibrates Images from: Critical band

JND Change in value of a variable (frequency, intensity) between two tones such that the difference just noticeable. For instance: Can you tell the difference between: vs Hz? vs Hz? 440 vs 441 Hz? 440 vs 441 Hz? 440 vs 444? 440 vs 444?

Sound Intensity Level I o = W/m 2 SIL = 10 log 10 (I 1 /I o ) dB unit = decibel Factor of 10 increase  10 dB Factor of 2 increase  3 dB 1 dB  I 1 /I o = dB  I 1 /I o = 2 10 dB  I 1 /I o = dB  I 1 /I o = 100

Sound deciBel scale

Subjective Loudness Hearing test: JE’s Equal loudness Curve Average Equal loudness Curve Sensitivity depends on frequency

Ohm’s Law of Hearing “Sound quality of a complex tone depends only on the amplitude of harmonics, not their phase” Image and sound file source:

Attack Transients “Turning on” phase is very important for sound perception

Pitch Tracking You play these….You may hear this… The “missing fundamental”

Masking How do we pick out one voice amongst all the other masking sounds? Alien enjoying cocktail party?! Masking: existence of one tone interfering with perception of another tone.

Binaural Effects It’s all in your head—purely neural processing Not actual superposition of physical waves
