Hearing With Ears Instead of Instruments

Authors: Boomsliter, Paul c.; Creel, Warren

AES Convention 37 · Paper 676 · October 1969

Abstract

The ear is a physiological transducer for physiologically produced sound. It makes capital not only of envelope variations but of temporal and spectral jitter operating in milliseconds and smaller periods. By stimulating large neural populations responsive to onset and to change, and by resulting additional increase in the participation of memory in perception, this elaborate microstructure adds richness and body to tone.
