Abstract

When a low harmonic in a harmonic complex tone is mistuned from its harmonic value by a sufficient amount it is heard as a separate tone, standing out from the complex as a whole. This experiment estimated the degree of mistuning required for this phenomenon to occur, for complex tones with 10 or 12 equal-amplitude components (60 dB SPL per component). On each trial the subject was presented with a complex tone which either had all its partials at harmonic frequencies or had one partial mistuned from its harmonic frequency. The subject had to indicate whether he heard a single complex tone with one pitch or a complex tone plus a pure tone which did not "belong" to the complex. An adaptive procedure was used to track the degree of mistuning required to achieve a d' value of 1. Threshold was determined for each ot the first six harmonics of each complex tone. In one set of conditions stimulus duration was held constant at 410 ms, and the fundamental frequency was either 100, 200, or 400 Hz. For most conditions the thresholds fell between 1% and 3% of the harmonic frequency, depending on the subject. However, thresholds tended to be greater for the first two harmonics of the 100-Hz fundamental and, for some subjects, thresholds in...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
