Central Auditory Masking by an Illusory Tone
Many natural sounds fluctuate over time. The detectability of sounds in a sequence can be reduced by prior stimulation in a process known as forward masking. Forward masking is thought to reflect neural adaptation or neural persistence in the auditory nervous system, but it has been unclear where in the auditory pathway this processing occurs. To address this issue, the present study used a "Hu...
متن کاملAdditivity of nonsimultaneous masking for short Gaussian-shaped sinusoids.
The additivity of nonsimultaneous masking was studied using Gaussian-shaped tone pulses (referred to as Gaussians) as masker and target stimuli. Combinations of up to four temporally separated Gaussian maskers with an equivalent rectangular bandwidth of 600 Hz and an equivalent rectangular duration of 1.7 ms were tested. Each masker was level-adjusted to produce approximately 8 dB of masking. E...
متن کاملPerceptual Development and Auditory Backward Recognition Masking
Three amplitude-discrimination experiments within a backward masking task were carried out to study whether young children have a slower rate of perceptual processing than do adults. Rate of processing was defined within an explicit model of perceptual performance that allows the investigator to determine if rate is responsible for developmental differences in auditory discrimination. A develop...
متن کاملAuditory filter bank design using masking curves
It is very difficult and costly to experimentally observe the motion of the basilar membrane in a fully functional cochlea with the view to obtaining amplitude response at points along the membrane. This paper presents an inexpensive method of generating psychoacoustic tuning curves from the well-known masking curves in critical band rate. We present a method for designing critical band auditor...
متن کاملEffect of number of masking talkers and auditory priming on informational masking in speech recognition.
Three experiments investigated factors that influence the creation of and release from informational masking in speech recognition. The target stimuli were nonsense sentences spoken by a female talker. In experiment 1 the masker was a mixture of three, four, six, or ten female talkers, all reciting similar nonsense sentences. Listeners' recognition performance was measured with both target and ...
