“…In this sense, auditory objects can be seen as having a temporal structure. So conceived, auditory objects do not seem to wholly exist at a given moment, rather, they appear to occur, unfold, or take place, and thus occupy time (O'Callaghan 2008; for discussion see also Skrzypulec 2018). In what follows I provide evidence suggesting that auditory objects of speech sound and voice perception are no different in this respect, in that they also crucially depend, among others, on the temporal characteristics of the signal.…”

Bringing back the voice: on the auditory objects of speech perception

When you hear a person speaking in a familiar language you perceive the speech sounds uttered and the voice that produces them. How are speech sounds and voice related in a typical auditory experience of hearing speech in a particular voice? And how to conceive of the objects of such experiences? I propose a conception of auditory objects of speech perception as temporally structured mereologically complex individuals. A common experience is that speech sounds and the voice that produces them appear united. I argue that the metaphysical underpinnings of the experienced unity of speech sounds and voices can be explained in terms of the mereological view on sounds and their sources. I also propose a psychological explanation (the Voice Shaping Speech model) of how we form and individuate the auditory objects of experiences of listening to speech in a particular voice. Voice characteristics enable determining the identity of auditory objects of speech sound perception by making some features of the speech signal stable and predictable.

“…Despite the fact that, as shown in most circumstances, vision has the last word in justifying or securing perceptually, my argument is aimed against modality-preference tendencies (if one could call visuocentrism one of such tendencies), and rather pursues an understanding where different sense-modalities cooperate [e.g., Kubovy & Valkenburg, 2001;Matthen, 2015;O'Callaghan, 2016;Green, 2019;Skrzypulec, 2020].…”

Knowing Through Hearing, Towards an Epistemology of Auditory Perception

This paper proposes some guidelines for the undeveloped discussion of auditory epistemology. Auditory epistemology is an approach concerned with the perceptual basis for knowledge and belief, specifically around audition. The article pursues two goals. Firstly, it claims that addressing auditory perception from the viewpoint of epistemology is more fruitful than the discussion on phenomenology which has thus far dominated the debates in the literature on sound. Secondly, it elaborates a concrete proposal pertaining to the cooperation of sense-modalities. In so doing, a model for “Perceptual Coherence” is suggested. The first section of the paper critically reviews the problem of perception as it is usually understood in traditional epistemology. An ensuing section outlines the model of perceptual coherence.

“…The latter cases may differ from the perception of ordinary material objects in notable respects. According to O'Callaghan (2016) (although see Skrzypulec, 2020), sound streams seem to perdure: they seem to be composed of a series of temporal parts. Conversely, material objects seem to endure: my cat strikes me as wholly present at each moment I see him.…”

The multisensory perception of persistence

This chapter examines how our sense modalities interact in the perception of persistence. The chapter concentrates on two questions. The first concerns perceptual processing—do perceptual computations of object persistence ever integrate and compute over representations from more than one modality? It argues that this question should be answered affirmatively. The second question concerns perceptual experience—do experiences of object persistence ever exhibit a constitutively multisensory phenomenal character, or is the phenomenology of object persistence always uniquely associated with just one modality? The chapter argues that the available evidence underdetermines the answer to this question, but suggests ways it might be empirically resolved.

Visual Endurance and Auditory Perdurance

Abstract: Philosophers often state that the persistence of objects in vision is experienced differently than the persistence of sounds in audition. This difference is expressed by using metaphors from the metaphysical endurantism/perdurantism debate.
