“…In humans and various other animal taxa, SRM has usually been studied with psychophysical methods, and the values measured for the increase in hearing performance obtained when spatially separating the signal from noise varied widely between 0 and 30 dB (Bee, 2007;Dent et al, 1997Dent et al, , 2009Gilkey and Good, 1995;Holt and Schustermann, 2007;Litovsky, 2005;Nityananda and Bee, 2012;Santon, 1987;Schwartz and Gerhardt, 1989). Some of these differences may be attributed to the different behavioral tasks (signal detection or discrimination), while other differences may be related to the different amount of directionality inherent in the system under study, or the spectral and temporal features of signals and noise.…”
