Encuesta del MIT: palabras que describen el timbre
EL MIT está buscando voluntarios para responder una encuesta online, cuyo objetivo es averiguar si “la gente común” usa un vocabulario especial para referirse al sonido, y cómo afectan los gustos musicales a su elección de vocabulario.La encuesta es para anglofonos, y se puede hacer en http://www.media.mit.edu/~y_yang/perceptual
Do you listen to music? Do you play music? Whatever your musical style, we would love to hear what you have to say on the sounds of music! We are looking for English-speaking individuals who are willing to describe sounds using everyday words.
Results from this study will be used to find whether people use a common vocabulary to describe sounds, and how a person’s musical background affects his or her choice of words. Ultimately we plan to build a system to describe sounds automatically based on their audio characteristics, and thus facilitate their retrieval from a database, and an audio processing engine to modify sounds using everyday words instead of non-intuitive technical parameters.
In this survey, which we have strived to make interactive and fun, you will hear one or more sounds and will be asked to describe them by choosing words presented to you or by using your own words. This survey will take around 10 minutes at the minimum, but if you enjoy it you can continue for longer!
You can either take the survey online at:

if you have access to a multimedia computer with speakers or headphones, or you can come do the survey at the MIT Media Lab near Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA (USA).
