Re: Spectral resolvability of harmonics

[flatmax <flatmax@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK here's a little start ... I have attatched simple scripts which should
work in 'octave' http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave  (perhaps Matlab too -
don't know though - if you run Matlab please inform your parents)

The scripts will find ERBs from Frequencies and vica versa.

Once in the ERB domain harmonics are equidistant in range (in theory any
way). But I'm sure someone else will want to expand on this point ....

There are some papers by Greenwood for example which will tell you that
what is reguarded a harmonic is different for different mammals ...
