Fast recognition of natural sounds: Auditory Illustrations
In some of our experiments (e.g., Agus, Suied, Thorpe and Pressnitzer,
2012), we observed patterns of responses unique to vocal sounds. In
order to explore what simple acoustic cues led to this voice
specificity, we designed "auditory chimeras". The auditory chimeras were generated by imposing the long-term
average spectrum of one sound on another sound. Here are some examples:
