Abstract:Psychoacoustic experiments indicate that the human auditory system is less sensitive than predicted by classical signal detection theory on a simultaneous masking task [C. M. Reed et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 53, 1039–1044 (1973)]. Traditionally, the difference between the matched filter and the experimental performance has been compensated for by assuming an additional internal additive noise. However, this noise has not been completely explained in physiological terms. The inconsistency may also partially be … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
