AUDITORY DISCRIMINATION AND MASKING

我们想研究听觉掩蔽，即一种声音发出另一种声音的能力 很难或不可能听到的。通过使用各种 人工(例如，计算机生成的)信号，我们希望开发出一种准确的 听觉处理的量化模型，也就是我们想要模拟的 听觉检测机制。特别值得注意的是时间效应 蒙面。掩蔽如何随信号持续时间或间隔而变化 在遮蔽物和信号之间？

We want to study auditory masking, the ability of one sound to make another difficult or impossible to hear. By measuring masking using a variety of artificial (e.g., computer generated) signals, we hope to develop an exact quantitative model of auditory processing, that is, we want to simulate the auditory detection mechanism. Of special interest are temporal effects in masking. How does masking vary with the duration of the signal or the interval between the masker and the signal?
