| • | PITCH:
our subjective perception is a LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION |
||||||||
| of
the physical variable (frequency). Common Principle |
|||||||||
| • | Pitch
perception in OCTAVES: “Equal” intervals actually |
||||||||
| MULITPLES. |
|||||||||
| • | Two-tone
discrimination: like two-point discrimination in the |
||||||||
| somatosensory
system. Proportional to the frequency (~ 5%). |
|||||||||
| • | Weber-Fechner
Law |
||||||||
| • | WHY?
Physiology: “place” coding for frequency coding in cochlea |
||||||||
| up
to cortex; sizes of receptive fields. Just like somatosensory |
|||||||||
| system |
