| Biographical note | Professor and Chairman of the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, SUNY Albany and Research Associate Professor, Albany Medical College. PhD University of Wisconsin in 1942. Central nervous system identification of speech and other acoustical stimuli, particularly interested in the patterning element in the perception of notes and musical sequences. With Warren Creel, Paul developed a "chord organ" with several frequencies on each tone and got musicians to play different types of melodies, picking out the tunings best suited to the character of the music. He did early work on the preprocessing of signals by the brain and the effects of this on musical listening, and such findings as Saunders reported that, when having three violins played behind a screen, it was always the second one played that was preferred by the listeners. |
