Abstract
Different trends and perspectives on sound synthesis control issues within a
cognitive neuroscience framework are addressed in this article. Two approaches
for sound synthesis based on the modelling of physical sources and on the
modelling of perceptual effects involving the identi
cation of invariant sound
morphologies (linked to sound semiotics) are exposed. Depending on the chosen
approach, we assume that the resulting synthesis models can fall under either one
of the theoretical frameworks inspired by the representational-computational or
enactive paradigms. In particular, a change of viewpoint on the epistemological
position of the end-user from a third to a
first person inherently involves different
conceptualizations of the interaction between the listener and the sounding
object. This differentiation also in
uences the design of the control strategy
