The article does a fair job of positing that the ear provides temporal/frequency resolution along a logarithmic scale but doesn't assert clearly that this resolution is fixed with the STFT and the Gabor variant. It hints that wavelets are more akin in terms of perceptual scaling as a function of frequency but not articulately. But it is interesting that the author's thesis, how Fourier mathematics isn't appropriate for describing human perception of sound, relates human hearing to the Gabor transform which is thoroughly a derivative of discrete Fourier mathematics.

Many solutions to differential equations are thoroughly derived from the Fourier transform too, and so is Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. That doesn't mean they're the same thing.
