* Please note that loudness levels are specific to the room in which the EEG experiments were run. They may sound different under other listening conditions.

 

** Loudness levels were adjusted in Audacity due to innate differences between the different timbres.  Therefore, the loudness levels will not sound correct when executing the ChucK script.
