How do we distinguish between music & speech? Using judgments on artificial ambiguous noise clips, @candrew123 @davidpoeppel &co show that our #auditory system relies on basic acoustic parameters like amplitude modulation rates & regularities #PLOSBiology plos.io/4e2guBO

Tone-language and non-tone-language speakers show several similarities in an auditory illusion where certain spoken phrases, when looped, start to sound like singing, suggesting consistencies in how human minds distinguish speech and song sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

hello? is anyone still on here? if so, check out a fun project I did with @ilizabutera and team on the speech-to-song illusion in cochlear implant users! #musicscience tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Cochlear Implant Users Experience the Sound-To-Music Effect

The speech-to-song illusion is a robust effect where repeated speech induces the perception of singing; this effect has been extended to repeated excerpts of environmental sounds (sound-to-music ef...
