Subject: About importance of "phase" in sound recognition From: emad burke <emad.burke@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 17:23:34 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--00221532cdfc8b95a30491e03eed Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Dear List, I've been confused about the role of "phase" information of the sound (eg speech) signal in speech recognition and more generally human's perception of audio signals. I've been reading conflicting arguments and publications regarding the extent of importance of phase information. if there is a border between short and long-term phase information that clarifies this extent of importance, can anybody please introduce me any convincing reference in that respect. In summary I just want to know what is the consensus in the community about phase role in speech recognition, of course if there is any at all.
