Domain-specific

• Timbre
  • John Grey's 1977 study in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America put this on a formal footing: from listeners' dissimilarity ratings of sixteen instrument tones equalised in pitch, loudness, and duration, multidimensional scaling recovered a roughly three-dimensional timbre space whose axes corresponded to spectral energy distribution (brightness), spectral fluctuation, and attack character

    This sourceGrey's MDS study of sixteen pitch-, loudness- and duration-equalised synthesized instrument tones, yielding a three-dimensional timbre space of spectral energy distribution, spectral fluctuation/transient synchrony and attack character.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
