Subject: How much is needed for sound identification ? From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sylvain_Cl=E9ment?= <=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Sylvain_Cl=E9ment?=> Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 12:49:23 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Dear List members, We are currently running several experiments on environmental sounds identification vs image identification. The literature in hearing seems to be quite poor whereas a lot of work have been done in the visual domain. Does anybody have know studies that tried to measure how long of a sound is needed to get the identification of the sound ("it's a bird") or get it's super-ordonate category ("it's an animal") ? Thanks in advance for any references.
