Philos Transact A Math Phys Eng Sci 360:833-58. 2002..Interference effects in the cochlea may also play a role in producing the spectral regularity observed in sounds reflected from the ear (otoacoustic emissions)... - Effect of frequency-modulation coherence for inharmonic stimuli: frequency-modulation phase discrimination and identification of artificial double vowelsJohannes Lyzenga
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EB, United Kingdom
J Acoust Soc Am 117:1314-25. 2005..The identification of double vowels was not improved by a difference in FM rate across vowels, suggesting that differences in FM rate do not support perceptual segregation of inharmonic stimuli... - Auditory streaming based on temporal structure in hearing-impaired listenersThomas H Stainsby

Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK
J Child Psychol Psychiatry 45:1107-14. 2004..The objective of this study was threefold: (1) to verify the validity of these reports; (2) to quantify the difficulties experienced; and (3) to propose possible mechanisms to explain the perceptual deficits described... - Behavioural measurement of level-dependent shifts in the vibration pattern on the basilar membraneBrian C J Moore
Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Downing Street, CB2 3EB, Cambridge, UK
Hear Res 163:101-10. 2002..The gap threshold patterns tended to spread markedly towards lower frequencies with increasing masker level. The shift with level provides further evidence for a basalward spread of the travelling wave with increasing level... - Prediction of absolute thresholds and equal-loudness contours using a modified loudness modelBrian R Glasberg

Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB2 3EB, UK

Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Cambridge, UK
Br Med Bull 63:121-34. 2002..The implications of the results for fitting hearing aids are discussed. Finally, the effect of cochlear hearing loss on the perception of rapid sequences of sounds (stream segregation) is described... - Asymmetry of masking between complex tones and noise: the role of temporal structure and peripheral compressionHedwig Gockel
Department of Physiology, University of Cambridge, England
J Acoust Soc Am 111:2759-70. 2002..5 Hz, a 10-dB increase in masker level led to an increase in masked threshold of the noise of only 3.7 dB, on average. We suggest that the results for this condition are strongly affected by the active mechanism in the cochlea... - Auditory processing of real and illusory changes in frequency modulation (FM) phaseRobert P Carlyon
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, 15 Chaucer Road, Cambridge CB2 2EF, United Kingdom
J Acoust Soc Am 116:3629-39. 2004..It is argued that the auditory system explicitly encodes the presence, and possibly the rate and depth, of FM in a way that does not preserve information on FM phase... - Pitch discrimination interference: the role of ear of entry and of octave similarityHedwig E Gockel
MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, Cambridge, United Kingdom
J Acoust Soc Am 125:324-7. 2009..The contralateral interferer produced marked PDI, but smaller than for ipsilateral presentation.
