Effects of Stimulus Onset Asynchrony on Timbre Perception of Piano Chord Sound
Ryohei Takayama, Yutaka Sakaguchi (UEC)
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Timbre of a piano harmonic chord is determined not only by the heights of the individual tones consisting of the chord but also by difference between their intensities and temporal onsets (i.e., stimulus onset asynchrony: SOA). Here, we ask the effect of SOA on the timbre of chord sounds when their heights and intensities are maintained. We first estimated the maximal SOA for perceiving the stimulus as a single chord (rather than two distinct tones). Next, we asked the participants to discriminate two chords having different SOAs. Thirdly, we asked them to identify the chord with their own favorite timbre among chords having various SOAs. The results suggested that the discrimination performance, as well as identification performance, depended on the difference in abstract SOA rather than that in SOA per se. We also found that most participants preferred the chords with smaller SOAs.
