SineWave Synthesis

Acknowledgments

This weblet is based on a HyperCard stack (HyperSWS) that was created by Philip Rubin on Nov. 4, 1992 with the help of Robert Remez and Jennifer Pardo.

The sinewave synthesis program (SWS) was developed by Philip Rubin at Haskins Laboratories in the late 1970's. Others who contributed to the development of the synthesizer include Robert Remez, Lenny Szubowciz and Michael D'Angelo. The original inspiration for work on this synthesizer came from the research of Peter Bailey and Quentin Summerfield, and work by Rod McGuire.

The research described in this stack and the development of the stimuli included in the stack were the collaborative effort of Robert Remez, Philip Rubin, and their colleagues: Stefanie M. Berns, Thomas D. Carrell, Jenny Fellowes, William A. Howell, Jessica M. Lang, Elizabeth B. Lynch, Lynne C. Nygaard, Jennifer S. Pardo, David B. Pisoni, and Bella Schanzer.

Mark Tiede provided expert advice on getting sound into the original HyperSWS stack.

Over the years many of our colleagues have contributed to our work by providing generous advice, stern encouragement, curiosity, expert criticism, and many valuable suggestions. This list includes:

Arthur Abramson, Dick Aslin, Peter Bailey, Peter Balsam, Alan Bell, Eva Blumenthal, Al Bregman, Cathy Best, Jan Charles-Luce, Richard Crane, James E. Cutting, C. J. Darwin, Carol Fowler, Lou Gerstman, Louis Goldstein, S. Grossberg, Arthur House, Julian Hochberg, Jim Jenkins, Mari Riess Jones, Peter Jusczyk, J. A.
