Sound textures are predictable only through their statistical spectrotemporal structure.

Evidence

We used a simplified sound texture model, which retained the property of being predictable only from the statistical properties of its complex spectrotemporal structure (Fig. — Dijk, Pim van, Physiology, Psychoacoustics and…, 3296
