Effects of carrier frequency, modulation rate, and modulation waveform on the detection of modulation and the discrimination of modulation type (amplitude modulation versus frequency modulation).
Initially, psychometric functions were measured for the detection of amplitude modulation (AM) or frequency modulation (FM), using a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) task. Carrier frequencies were 125, 1000, and 6000 Hz, and modulation rates were 2, 5, and 10 Hz. For the two lower carrier frequencies, FM detection tended to be best at the lowest modulation rate while AM detection was best a...
متن کاملDiscrimination of modulation type (amplitude modulation or frequency modulation) with and without background noise.
These experiments compare the ability to detect amplitude modulation (AM) and frequency modulation (FM) with the ability to discriminate AM from FM, using 10-Hz sinusoidal modulation of a 1000-Hz carrier. Initially, psychometric functions were measured for the detection of AM and FM alone, using a two-alternative forced-choice (2AFC) task. In experiment 1, pairs of values of AM and FM were sele...

متن کاملIntensity discrimination and detection of amplitude modulation in electric hearing.
Wojtczak and Viemeister [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 106, 1917-1924 (1999)] demonstrated a close relationship between intensity difference limens (DLs) and 4-Hz amplitude modulation (AM) detection thresholds in normal-hearing acoustic listeners. The present study demonstrates a similar relationship between intensity DLs and AM detection thresholds in cochlear-implant listeners, for gated stimuli. This ...
متن کاملExtracting a shape function for a signal with intra-wave frequency modulation
In this paper, we develop an effective and robust adaptive time-frequency analysis method for signals with intra-wave frequency modulation. To handle this kind of signals effectively, we generalize our data-driven time-frequency analysis by using a shape function to describe the intra-wave frequency modulation. The idea of using a shape function in time-frequency analysis was first proposed by ...
