Subject: Re: Probably out of context - struck plates question From: "Bruno L. Giordano" <bruno.giordano@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Feb 2007 06:07:24 -0500 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Hi Eliot, in my thesis I extract two descriptors from the first 10 ms of several struck plates signals: "overall energy" (attack loudness), and "central tendency" (attack spectral centroid). I also report the same analyses for simulated struck bars (www.soundobject.org). You can find the thesis on my web page. Let me know if this helps.
