Music Perception in Cochlear Implant Users
... Another fundamental feature of music is timbre, or tone-color. Derived from the acoustic properties of spectra (the ratios of the harmonics to the fundamental frequency) and timing (envelope) of each harmonic constituent, the psychoacoustic property of timbre permits us to differentiate between two ...
