Periodicity measures for repeated random auditory patterns.

I Pollack

    The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
    |April 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary

    Listeners can better detect auditory patterns by analyzing short-term repetitions. Maximum autocorrelation in signal analysis closely matches human perception of auditory periodicity strength.

    Area of Science:

    • Auditory Perception
    • Signal Processing
    • Psychoacoustics

    Background:

    • Auditory patterns are fundamental to speech and music perception.
    • Understanding how humans perceive periodicity in sound is crucial for various applications.
    • Previous research has explored auditory pattern recognition with varying analytical approaches.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between signal measures of auditory periodicity and human behavioral responses.
    • To determine which periodicity analysis (short-term vs. long-term) better predicts listener performance.
    • To identify the most effective signal processing measure for reflecting perceived auditory periodicity.

    Main Methods:

    • Random auditory patterns were generated and converted into pulse trains.
    • Listeners performed discrimination tasks and provided ratings related to periodicity.
    • Signal measures, including autocorrelation, were computed for the auditory patterns.
    • Short-term and long-term periodicity analyses were compared against behavioral data.

    Main Results:

    • A short-term periodicity analysis of successive pattern replications showed better alignment with behavioral measures.
    • Maximum autocorrelation, regardless of delay, emerged as the signal measure most strongly correlated with perceived periodicity strength.
    • Listener performance in discriminating repeated from non-repeated patterns was analyzed.

    Conclusions:

    • Short-term analysis of auditory patterns is more representative of human perception than long-term analysis.
    • Maximum autocorrelation is a robust signal processing metric for quantifying perceived auditory periodicity.
    • These findings advance our understanding of auditory pattern recognition and signal processing in acoustics.
