Abstract

The sound signal can be decomposed into temporal envelope and temporal fine structure information. The temporal envelope information is crucial for speech perception in quiet environment, and the temporal fine structure information plays an important role in speech perception in noise, Mandarin tone recognition and music perception, especially the pitch and melody perception.

声音信号可以分解为时域包络和时域精细结构信息,其中时域包络信息对于安静环境下的言语感知至关重要,而时域精细结构信息对噪声下言语识别、汉语声调识别以及音乐感知起重要作用,特别是对音乐中的音调和旋律成分的感知尤为重要。.
