Abstract
We found so far several musical instruments mimicking singing, animal songs, or screams, expressive articulation. So to close the section about musical instruments and then turn to the human brain and perception of music, we need to have a look at the human voice. We would expect it to be a self-organizing system too, and indeed it is. It shows all aspects of self-organization, a complex physical system that can produce perfectly harmonic sounds but can also sound rough or like noise.
