questions and thoughts on aural cognition
Saurabh
me.
Chinese room thought experiment and music : does playing a memorized
piece of music correctly, imply that the musician who plays it
understands it ? What does it mean to understand a piece of music ? To
know its constituent notes/meter, their emotional import, or to know
the structure/form of the entire piece of music & the emotional
import thereof, or the structure/form or emotional import of
combination of
sub-structures/sub-forms of the piece of music ? [or above means
'inclusive or'].
Perception and music : To identify/know intervals of frequencies is
to know relative pitch. How do we recognize tunes without being able
to
identify intervals of frequencies explicitly ?
Analogy : Looking at a (black and white)/color picture of a person,
we
can identify the person. Identification of tunes by most of us is
like
seeing the person in black and white (analogical to having a
subconscious/subjective sense of relative pitch) whereas to see a
person in color is analogical to having a sense of absolute pitch.
Why is color perception common and absolute pitch perception rare ?
Recognition of ragas : how do people without an explicit objective
sense of relative pitch identify ragas ? How do people relate to music
emotionally ?
Why people differ on preferences in music ?
Relationship between timbre and viscosity ? - (santoor - water;; sarod
- honey , sitar - juice)
Timbre, volume and their emotional correlates ?

A couple of articles on the relationship
between music and speech, and related stuff.

Thanks Joachim. I liked the articles you've sent on speech, music and
their neural correlates.
Do you have any on aural/visual perception as well ?
