Subject: Dissertation Dissaster From: David Spondike <Dspondike(at)AOL.COM> Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2000 08:36:42 EDTHello List: This may be a bit unconventional, but it seems foolish to waste such a wonderful resource such as the pool of knowledge that aggregates around this list. I have come up against my first dissertation dissaster; my pilot experiment produced unreliable results. I am researching the effect of source tone and resonant spectral peak frequency difference on the perceptual grouping of crossing musical scales. I have posted an abstract, the methodology, the CSound files used to create the stimuli, and a brief description of what I think may be the possible problems on my website. I would appreciate responses from anyone who might have suggestions or criticism on the design, method, stimuli, or problems that lie therein.
