“…Another more recently studied streaming paradigm consists of a repeated target tone stream in a background of desynchronized tone pips of varying frequency (exhibiting “informational masking,” or IM; Akram, Englitz, Elhilali, Simon, & Shamma, 2014 ; Elhilali, Xiang, Shamma, & Simon, 2009 ; Gutschalk, Micheyl, & Oxenham, 2008 ; Kidd, Mason, Deliwla, Woods, & Colburn, 1994 ). Brain responses that correlate with IM target-stream awareness are abolished when attention is diverted away from the IM stimulus, a finding taken to indicate that segregation is reliant on attention (e.g., Gutschalk et al, 2008 ).…”
