Listening test on correlation of music and speech perception (for MA thesis).

Listening test with music and speech stimuli

Listening test used in my MA thesis, for assessing correlation between perception of speech and musical stimuli. The material and speech stimuli are in Czech. The test is implemented using the Praat linguistic research environment.

You can read about the purpose of the test and the results obtained in my thesis (Czech only with English abstract).

Quick setup

1. Download and unpack into the directory of your choice.
2. Create a directory named results inside the root directory of the test.
3. Read the general guidelines in spolecne_pokyny.html.
4. Load the file test.mfc into Praat and start the test. Answer the questions.
5. Collect the results by running the collect_results.praat script. This will create a .csv file in the results directory with your results.

Results collected for my thesis

The results I collected for my thesis are available in anonymized form in the results_anom directory, one subject per .tsv (tab-separated values) file. If you want to play around with them (e.g. in R or some other stat software) but can't figure out the format, drop me a line on github and I'll try to provide some basic orientation :)

Credits

The music stimuli were created with the help of the leipzig Clojure library by ctford, converted to midi using the Python MIDIUtil library and rendered into WAV files using TiMidity++ and the FluidR3_GM.sf2 soundfont.
