  2. Dot gain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_gain

    Dot gain, or tonal value increase, is a phenomenon in offset lithography and some other forms of printing which causes printed material to look darker than intended. It is caused by halftone dots growing in area between the original printing film and the final printed result. In practice, this means that an image that has not been adjusted to ...

  3. Spectral flatness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_flatness

    The meaning of tonal in this context is in the sense of the amount of peaks or resonant structure in a power spectrum, as opposed to the flat spectrum of white noise.A high spectral flatness (approaching 1.0 for white noise) indicates that the spectrum has a similar amount of power in all spectral bands — this would sound similar to white noise, and the graph of the spectrum would appear ...

  4. Tonal memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonal_memory

    Tonal memory. In music, tonal memory or "aural recall" is the ability to remember a specific tone after it has been heard. [1] Tonal memory assists with staying in tune and may be developed through ear training. Extensive tonal memory may be recognized as an indication of potential compositional ability. [2]

  5. Spectral theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_theory

    In mathematics, spectral theory is an inclusive term for theories extending the eigenvector and eigenvalue theory of a single square matrix to a much broader theory of the structure of operators in a variety of mathematical spaces. [1] It is a result of studies of linear algebra and the solutions of systems of linear equations and their ...

  6. Color appearance model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_appearance_model

    A color appearance model (CAM) is a mathematical model that seeks to describe the perceptual aspects of human color vision, i.e. viewing conditions under which the appearance of a color does not tally with the corresponding physical measurement of the stimulus source. (In contrast, a color model defines a coordinate space to describe colors ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistics

    Linguistics. Linguistics is the scientific study of language. [1][2][3] Linguistics is based on a theoretical as well as a descriptive study of language and is also interlinked with the applied fields of language studies and language learning, which entails the study of specific languages. Before the 20th century, linguistics evolved in ...

  8. Isochronic tones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isochronic_tones

    Isochronic tones are regular beats of a single tone that are used alongside monaural beats and binaural beats in the process called brainwave entrainment. At its simplest level, an isochronic tone is a tone that is being turned on and off rapidly. They create sharp, distinctive pulses of sound. Isochronic tones are tones of any frequency that ...

  9. Equal-loudness contour - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal-loudness_contour

    The first research on the topic of how the ear hears different frequencies at different levels was conducted by Fletcher and Munson in 1933. Until recently, it was common to see the term Fletcher–Munson used to refer to equal-loudness contours generally, even though a re-determination was carried out by Robinson and Dadson in 1956, which became the basis for an ISO 226 standard.
