Studies that measure pitch discrimination relate a subject's response on each trial to the
stimuli presented on that trial, but there is evidence that behavior depends also on earlier …

The human brain has the task of binding successive sounds produced by the same acoustic
source into a coherent perceptual stream, and binding must be selective when several …

Previous studies showed that the perceptual processing of sound sequences is more
efficient when the sounds vary in pitch than when they vary in loudness. We show here that …

When a test sound consisting of pure tones with equal intensities is preceded by a precursor
sound identical to the test sound except for a reduction in the intensity of one tone, an …

Chapter 4 ended with the remark that the formation of an auditory unit can be strongly
affected by sound components that precede and follow that auditory unit. This chapter …

Can auditory attention be split? We addressed this question using rapid sequences of tones
alternating in frequency between 2 remote registers. In these rapid sequences, consecutive …

In a chord of pure tones with a flat spectral profile, one tone can be perceptually enhanced
relative to the other tones by the previous presentation of a slightly different chord.“Intensity …

Four experiments investigated change detection in acoustic scenes consisting of a sum of
five amplitude-modulated pure tones. As the tones were about 0.7 octave apart and were …

The same sensory input does not always trigger the same reaction. In laboratory
experiments, a given stimulus may elicit a different response on each trial, particularly near …

Frequency discrimination limens (FDLs) were measured for pairs of stimuli differing from
each other with respect to pitch salience. One of the two stimuli to be compared within a trial …
