Tone perception data

Description

The data originates from an experiment of Cohen (1980) and has been analyzed in de Veaux (1989) and Viele and Tong (2002). In this experiment, a pure fundamental tone was played to a trained musician. To create different auditory conditions, electronically generated overtones were introduced, which were determined by a stretching ratio. When stretchratio = 2.0, it aligns with the harmonic pattern usually heard in traditional definite pitched instruments. The musician was asked to tune an adjustable tone to the octave above the fundamental tone. The variable tuned gives the ratio of the adjusted tone to the fundamental tone. For example, tuned = 2.0, would be the correct tuning for all stretchratio values. This dataset comprises data collected from 150 trials conducted with the same musician. In the original study, data were gathered from an additional four musicians as well. The dataset and the description have been sourced from the tonedata of the ‘fpc’ package.
