It should be. If you mean they aren't representations, then yes, that's my point. On the screen. In the game in which we agree to pretend that the scr...
Day 2, Saturday 21st 9.40: slightly flat. Half or quarter of a semitone. Variability of this order is probably good enough to count as absolute pitch ...
I'm pretty sure I can report progress, albeit entirely devoid of scientific significance. I really ought to have done some prior testing to see where ...
Ok, anthropomorphic assumptions, apparently. Thanks for the link. With it's shockingly anthropomorphic illustration! I shall study. ... Haha, point ta...
Yes, until one dares to drop the re from reconstructed, and thus challenge the near-universal presumption of an original recording, and hence even of ...
I doubt that we ourselves do it before we grasp the reference of words and pictures. I'm open to persuasion though. Start with an ape? In what situati...
Ok, I may be exaggerating. Apparently it's only Bartlett and I that see the absurdity of the trace theories and memory-bank theories of memory. (Or go...
That's one view, which people have widely held, even before the invention of the camera. (E.g. Hippocrates. Can't locate the source. "Soul receive ima...
Neural events. But not words or pictures. Because I meant memories in the sense of rememberings. In the sense of the scenes remembered, I could have s...
So you reject the premise that I said. Ok. Songs are sound events. Having them "in your head" is practicing brain (and general neural and muscular) sh...
Well, it says no representations in the brain. Storable units corresponding to (representing) external events are excluded by implication. (Was my rea...
Not disputed. :cool: Ah, so not your view as a biologist as such... So, now that you think about it, it probably is all to do with storing traces in a...
Are you quite sure you are sticking with the premise?... Premise: it's neither nor If so (if you are sticking with the premise), and "how apples look ...
Are you quite sure you are sticking with the premise?... Premise: it's neither nor If so (if you are sticking with the premise), and "what you experie...
I can't agree there. Your two-octave vocal range is between one D and another D, yes. (Let's suppose.) But a melody spanning all or most of this range...
Yes! This was an option I early considered, because a stimulus for the mission was being asked my vocal range by the leader of a choir I was enquiring...
The good news is that there are sound events and illumination events as they are commonly theorised and intuited: the sound of this instrument played ...
... Namely, an ordering or classification of illumination events. Which isn't something specially suggestive of either direct nor indirect... which ar...
:ok: You have to play on a violin to see what sounds it makes. And you have to let the light play on a dress to see what colours it makes. A musical p...
Amen to that. And they, not the absolute pitches, define the patterns. At least for most people, notably young children learning to identify musical p...
I suppose piano teachers, especially, are always aware of the issue when engaging a young child. Because it may be the critical stage of development. ...
Was it about enduring a daily grind? Punctuating the passage of time with commercial breaks, maybe? Or how did he need not to rely on a clock? Yeah, I...
They do?? I too was unaware. At the scale of whole minutes, at any rate. I've known someone claim to have "absolute tempo", presumably involving measu...
Great. Happy to be introduced to research. I would hope to recognise some of it from previous encounters, but nonetheless. No real excuse for launchin...
Happens I'm about 3 weeks into an uncontrolled experiment wherein the subject (myself) attempts to acquire absolute pitch. I'm still hopeful of refuti...
I don't at all see how qualia is so much more ghostly an apparition than any of experience, sensation, representation or mental state. Not trying to b...
Am I missing something or is it quite easy? E.g. Again, this seems neutral with respect to the question whether we need to posit an internal as well a...
Two diamonds both identifying as an intermediate grey in most contexts will indeed be seen as contrasting greys in the ingenious context. For obvious ...
What, you mean in some very fleeting way, for a small moment, in some small corner of your mind? Or were you able to maintain the mistake, in some sub...
Not unless you mistook it for a horse, which you didn't. It's a pattern you recognised with particular ease from your perspective, but which you may t...
