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 难以或不可能听到的。 通过使用各种不同的 人工的（例如，计算机生成）信号，我们希望开发一个精确的 听觉处理的定量模型，也就是说，我们想要模拟 听觉检测机制 特别感兴趣的是时间效应， 伪装 掩蔽效应如何随信号的持续时间或间隔而变化 信号和屏蔽器之间的联系吗

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?
