Excitation produced by Schroeder-phase complexes: evidence for fast-acting compression in the auditory system

Abstract

A series of experiments compared the excitation produced in an auditory filter centered on 1100 Hz by two complexes, both of which consisted of harmonics 2-20 of a 100-Hz fundamental. When the components had a level of 69 dB SPL each, summing them in positive Schroeder phase produced substantially less forward masking of an 1100-Hz signal than when the components were summed in negative Schroeder phase. This difference decreased with decreases in overall masker level. Listeners also reported that the components of the positive-phase masker close to 1100 Hz were quieter than the corresponding components in the negative-phase masker. The data are explained using Kohlrausch and Sander's [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 97, 1817-1829 (1995)] finding that the response of an 1100-Hz auditory filter to the positive-phase complex shows marked peaks and dips, whereas that to the negative-phase complex does not. It is argued that the peaks in the response to the positive-phase masker are attenuated by fast-acting compression in the auditory system, thereby reducing the excitation produced by that sound. It is also argued that, compared to the power functions commonly used to model "excess masking" and the growth of loudness, the present data reflect...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
