Abstract
Onset and offset filters inspired both by the neurobiology of the cochlear nucleus and the on‐centre off‐surround filters used in image processing are presented. These are used to segment single streams of sound (music or other). The techniques developed are applied to a plucked guitar, and to tongued and slurred saxophone and flute sounds, and the results are given. The limitations of these methods are discussed, and some further development directions for the methods employed are suggested.
