L. Nizami et Ba. Schneider, The periodicity of forward-masked auditory pip-detection thresholds, predicted from the output power of the auditory filter during ringing, HEARING RES, 144(1-2), 2000, pp. 168-174
The plot of detection thresholds vs. time for a forward-masked Gaussian-sha
ped 2 kHz Dip (S.D. = 0.5 ms) shows a noisy 'fine structure' that disappear
s with across-subject averaging. The averaging uncovers a slower threshold
periodicity, that can be predicted From the output power of the auditory fi
lter during extended ringing. (C) 2090 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights res
