Rediscovering the auditory temporal window ? consequences on the acoustics science
Alejandro Bidondo

On this research the variability of the integration window duration of the auditory system in function of the perceived acoustic signal is verified. The obtained results validate the perception model based on the specialization of the brain’s hemispheres and the existence of the autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions achieved at the brainstem. It is essayed a formulae of the duration of the temporal window in function of the effective duration of the autocorrelation’s (ACF’s) envelope of the sound stimuli.

Key words: Autocorrelation, ACF, Psychoacoustics, Auditory system
