Subject: Re: In search of Basic Pedagogical Audio Material From: Diana Deutsch <ddeutsch@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 11:15:06 -0800Dear Olivier, I have two CDs out which illustrate various principles of perceptual organization for sound and music. These are entitled 'Musical Illusions and Paradoxes' and 'Phantom Words, and Other Curiosities'. I routinely play demonstrations from these CDs in large introductory classes, and they are very well received by the students. The CDs are available through http://www.philomel.com. Some of the the sound demonstrations are also posted on this website, and some others are posted on http://www-psy.ucsd.edu/~ddeutsch. Please let me know if you'd like any further information.
