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 …

A target sound can become more audible and may “pop out” from a simultaneously
presented masker if the masker is presented first by itself, as a precursor. This phenomenon …

Detection of a target tone in a simultaneous multi-tone masker can be improved by
preceding the stimulus with the masker alone. The mechanisms underlying this auditory …

Auditory enhancement refers to the observation that the salience of one spectral region (the
“signal”) of a broadband sound can be enhanced and can “pop out” from the remainder of …

The auditory system uses interaural time and level differences (ITD and ILD) as cues to
localize and lateralize sounds. The availability of ITDs and ILDs in the auditory system is …

Auditory enhancement refers to the perceptual phenomenon that a target sound is heard out
more readily from a background sound if the background is presented alone first. Here we …

A subjective listening task was used to measure the salience of enhanced components
using typical intensity-enhancement stimuli, time-reversed versions of those stimuli, and …

Auditory enhancement is the phenomenon whereby the salience or detectability of a target
sound within a masker is enhanced by the prior presentation of the masker alone …

The perceptual salience of a target tone presented in a multitone background is increased
by the presentation of a precursor sound consisting of the multitone background alone. It has …
