The hack I implemented embedded scripts to generation synthetic sounds with precisely controlled parameters into a Pure Data patch with an intuitive interface. Volunteer listeners can thus, with no prior training, manipulate the statistical properties of sounds via a MIDI controller. | The hack I implemented embedded scripts to generation synthetic sounds with precisely controlled parameters into a Pure Data patch with an intuitive interface.

- | The proposed experiment allows a | + | The proposed experiment allows the listener to listen to one sound, the "target" -- which remains constant with respect to specific parameters -- and vary the statistical parameters of a variable sound with the stated task of trying to match the two sounds as closely as possible. Thus the subject is given the freedom to explore a large region of the parameter space describing all possible sounds. The sensitivity of the human auditory system to each statistical parameter can be assessed by how closely the subject matches the parameters of the variable source to the target. |
