Inverse problems are mathematical detective problems. They can help solve crimes, are used in medical imaging, and much more.
I've just started music technology and I'm really enjoying it and am so glad I came across your article. But the other day my teacher did this really trippy thing with us. He mentioned a few things Jeffrey Rosenthal did (sine waves, pressure, hrtz, frequencies) but he just played the E note and held it. (he said if we closed our eyes it might help) he then played a B and made us lock onto that note. Then when he played the E again he told us to hear the B within the E note he played. No one else heard it but i'm pretty sure I did. He did it a few times and towards the ending as the E note is trailing off it sort of sounds like the B note? He did this a couple of times and it got clearer and clearer. The other students just looked at us like we were crazy but I could definitely hear it! He then did the same thing but with the G sharp key and I sure as hell was able to pick up that note within the E as well. He then said that's what makes up the E chord. The B and G sharp you could hear within the E, when played at the same time makes up the E chord. He then went on to talk about flattening the G making minors and so on but he'd discuss that later... Anyways, does anyone else know what I mean? I felt this article gave the scientific reason why.
