Absolute Pitch: Genetics & Perception

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Cordula Becker .

Absolute pitch is the uncanny ability to identify the pitch of a tone without a reference tone. This talk describes our effort to unlock the genetic basis for this rare and complex trait. A web-based pitch-testing and recruitment strategy has allowed us to identify over 1000 subjects with absolute pitch and to enroll a subset of these for relative pair analysis. The wealth of perceptual data from these subjects has also enabled us to uncover two surprising distortions in pitch perception.

This talk is part of the Craik Club series.
